On July 22nd of 2010, Aaron Drendel and Jake Mullins completed an adventure of a lifetime. They paddled the entire length of the Mississippi River from Lake Itasca, MN to the Gulf of Mexico: 2,320 miles. Through much-appreciated donations we raised over $7,000 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation. We greatly appreciate all the support and donations that made this trip a success. Feel free to contact us if you would like to know more about the trip.

The Paddlers
Both from Batavia, Illinois, Aaron Drendel and Jake Mullins are avid outdoorsmen.
Aaron graduated from Illinois State University in May 2009 with a degree in Entrepreneurship & Small Business Management. He has been a dedicated fisherman his whole life. Other hobbies include: mountain biking, canoeing, and basketball. Aaron spent two summers working as a commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska during college.
Jake graduated from Lewis University in December 2009 with a degree in Aircraft Maintenance. He is also a licensed pilot. As far as the outdoors, he does a little bit of everything. Backpacking, road-biking, mountain biking, kayaking and canoeing are the favorites of his hobbies. Boating on Lake Michigan has created a love of being on the water, making travel by canoe the best way to cross the US. At 22, now is the perfect time for a great adventure.

Best of luck with your trip. My wife and I paddled the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers in 2005 in conjunction with the Audubon Society. Feel free to hit us up with any questions.
