If you are looking to kayak or canoe on the Hudson River then you might want to volunteer for The Hudson River Swim for Life event this Sunday, September 12^th, at Kingsland Point Park in Sleepy Hollow, New York.  

According to their website:

This annual event is non-competitive three mile and one mile swim to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Although the swimmer registration is closed they still need kayakers and canoers to volunteer to guide and assist the swimmers in the water for safety.  They are looking for 150 kayakers.

Kayakers can sign-up the day of the event, but they would like you to contact them by Friday, September 10^th for details.

If you would love to help out but do not have a kayak, kayak rentals are available.
