Paddle for the Cure is a personal mission Leah runs with her whole heart. She used her experience with cancer as a catalyst to found a nonprofit organization that aids those on their cancer journey. Her passion to be an advocate for those who are battling is inspirational and I’m proud to know Leah and see how far Paddle for the Cure has come.
