3 Dudes In A Canoe Honor Mother

Lindbergh High School alumni Jeff, Kevin and Dave Moore are looking for much more than adventure when they paddle 340 miles across Missouri in a canoe July 27-30, although the trip itself is a major accomplishment.

They’re also coming together to honor their mother, Kathy, a former teacher at Sappington Elementary School, who passed away from colon cancer in 2007.

The brothers hope that this test of cooperation, endurance, and family strength will raise awareness of the preventable disease that affects more than 130,000 newly diagnosed Americans each year.
