We appreciate you checking out our Team River Runner: Bluegrass blog. TRR is committed to promote health and healing through paddling. By getting our wounded warriors out on the water, we let them know that we are here for them, and that we support them, and they discover what they have in them... and that allows them to move forward. We are all just paddler's when we are on the water. Please feel free to leave comments on the posts and let us know what you think. Come join the movement!

American Whitewater would like to recognize Allen Kirkwood as our March volunteer of the month.
As a river steward and whitewater community member, Allen sets a great example. He was the Silent Auction Coordinator for the National Paddling Film Festival this year in addition to his role as the Vice President and former Conservation Officer for the Bluegrass Wildwater Association. Allen has also been responsible for organizing one of the biggest cleanups on Elkhorn Creek in Kentucky, removing over 2000 pounds of scrap metal from a hillside dump site, and is involved in the Team River Runner program, which teaches kayaking to disabled veterans. Furthermore, Allen was a very active volunteer helping American Whitewater put on Gauley Fest in 2008.

In recognition of his efforts Allen will be receiving an OuterCore Long-Sleeve Shirt from Kokatat! Thanks Allen!
