In
just 15 hours, the Spina brothers completed the 75-nautical mile journey from
Bimini to Palm Beach on stand up paddle boards.
“After
59 years, you run out of unique birthday celebration ideas,” said Kevin. I
wanted to do something that would have a meaningful impact. Every little bit
gets us one step closer to finding a cure and helping members of the Cystic
Fibrosis community.”
Crossing for a Cure was started by Travis Suit, whose daughter, Piper, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at the age of four. This year, the event raised more than $250,000 towards inspiring action and improving the lives of those impacted by the disorder.
For the past 20 years, Kevin has been no stranger to athletic challenges, having completed over 20 marathons, numerous triathlons, is an avid runner and cyclist.
