In Her Friends’ Words
“Kim was so much more hardcore than me. So, when she asked me to go on a sea kayaking trip off the west coast of Vancouver Island, I figured it was way out of my league. I initially said ‘No,’ but after an extended course of convincing that was equal parts cajoling and encouraging, I agreed. And what a decision. It rained for weeks before we stepped into our kayaks and it rained for weeks after we got back to dock. But, for our whole adventure, the sun shone on us as we explored the beautiful Broken Group Islands, with their white sand beaches, wildlife, and idyllic caves and campsites. I miss Kim every day, treasure her memory, and am so glad she can continue to help people explore through this award.”
