One of the longest (stand up) paddles in Australian history is about to begin today, Ryans Paddle for Prevention begins from the Gold Coast, destination: Melbourne. 

It's one heck of a paddle, and it's all for the Heart Foundation which is a charity very close to Ryans heart (excuse the pun). Helped along by Jamie Mitchell stand up paddleboards, Ryans already raised a fair bit of money even before the SUP paddle has begun. The goal is $100,000, most of which he hopes to raise on the way while he raises awareness about the fact that simply exercising a little more can prevent heart disease. 

It's a simply ask, as simple as getting outside and trying something new. Like stand up padde boarding! So spread the word, donate to Ryans cause and cheer him on as he paddles down the coast over the next few weeks. We reckon he'll need it!
