On Board is important to Welland and other communities because it brings people together to not only remember Julia and Lynn, but to continue teaching the life values that they lived for. On Board has taught me that you can achieve anything if you put your mind and dedication towards that. I have learned to take that attitude and put it towards my school work as well, and it has helped me be successful.
Maddi has practiced her sport competitively for the past three years, but the World Championships in China will certainly present her with the toughest competition she has ever faced. An additional challenge will be that the races will take plan on open ocean.
"This is like the Olympics of SUP. Everybody from around the world is going to be there. You're pretty much competing against the best of the best."

Good Luck Maddi! St. Paul's could not be more proud!
