Jeffrey and Danielle are Paddle of
the Sexes. We are long-time friends who’ve signed up for the MR340, a
340-mile river race across the state of Missouri. We will paddle the Missouri
River, in a canoe, from from Kansas City to St. Charles in under 88 hours.
Follow us our journey as we train and prepare for the MR340 on July 24-27,
2018.
340 miles in 88 hours means we’ll
be spending a lot of time together. For many people, that might sound like a
challenge... but we’ve known each other a long time and we think we can do it.
Jeffrey and Danielle met in 2003 at
Southwest Missouri State University (now MSU) through our mutual friend,
Bethany. Since then, we’ve embarked on many exciting adventures including, but
not limited to: Spring Break ‘04 in New Orleans (no one spoke the entire 12+
hour ride home), New York City (Danielle drove herself to the ER in Providence,
RI for pink eye/bronchitis in the middle of the night while Jeffrey rode in the
backseat), and the George Washington Carver National Monument in Diamond, MO
(after our casino trip to Oklahoma got derailed). So, can we survive each other
in a canoe for 88 hours? Definitely.
Jeffrey is a teacher-librarian in
St. Louis area who promotes reading, digital literacy and effective use of
instructional technology. He is also active in his urban neighborhood (Tower
Grove South). Jeffrey enjoys cooking, gardening, and spending time with
friends. He looks forward to spending summer break training for the MR340.
Danielle is an attorney at Ozarks
Elder Law in Springfield, Missouri. She practices in the areas of estate
planning, probate, and elder law. In her free time she enjoys camping, bike
riding, reading, baking, and hanging out with her three doodles. However, this
summer all free time will be committed to preparing for the MR340.
