EAGLE RIVER - Canoe and kayak enthusiasts took to the water this weekend to paddle for a cure.
Marcia and Jeff Rohr lost their daughter, Callie, to pediatric brain cancer sixteen years ago.
For the past 11 years, they've held a canoe and kayak race in her honor. The money raised goes to pediatric brain cancer research.
"Her wish before she died was to find a cure. It took us five years to really be able to talk about it, and then the idea sparked. She loved to canoe. She would have just reveled in this race. It was a perfect way to honor her memory," explained Callie's father and event organizer Jeff Rohr.
