UPDATE:
25 SUP VIC Members are joining Ryan on the final leg of his mammoth trip from the Gold Coast to Melbourne this Saturday, to welcome him in. All paddlers are donating money for the privilege of paddling through the shipping lanes and into the docklands, for what is promised to be an awesome experience. —– On November 4th 2012 Ryan Fulton will begin his stand up paddle journey from the Gold Coast to Melbourne to raise funds for the Heart Foundation. The feat has never been done on a stand up paddle board, and will put Ryans name not only in the record book, but he’ll go down in history as one of BIGGEST PADDLES EVER by a single bloke. Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in Australia. At least 5 of Ryan’s close family members have passed away or been affected by heart disease, so on his 2 month journey Ryan aims to spread the message that through exercise and healthy living, heart disease can be prevented.
