2. Recently, Holzerland embarked on an epic paddleboard trek, beginning at the head of the Peace River in Bartow. Tonight, he& #39;s roughly 15 miles upstream from Nav-A-Gator Bar & Grill. His goal: Paddle 400 miles around the Florida peninsula and cross over to Bimini. Why?
3. To raise money for a project in conjunction with Crossroads Hope Academy ( https://www.crossroadspg.org/ )">https://www.crossroadspg.org/">... ... a facility for foster boys who have had multiple failed placements in Florida& #39;s foster care system. Nick& #39;s goal?
4. To raise enough money to cover the expenses for monthly excursions for the boys on the Peace River and around Charlotte Harbor. Along the way, Nick is making the occasional video on subjects such as identifying native edible plants.
5. We& #39;ll have more on Nick, Crossroads Hope Academy and this grand adventure over the weekend or early next week in editions of @CharlotteSunFla ... for now, here are a few links:

7. If you& #39;re wondering how Nick has the tech & know-how to do this as he wanders distant waters, you& #39;ll just have to read my story when it runs. For now, if you don& #39;t know much about Crossroads, here& #39;s a story I wrote on those folks a few months back. https://www.yoursun.com/charlotte/news/nonprofits-battle-the-bottom-line/article_522f6156-cde4-11ea-ab45-cf3aabae814f.html">https://www.yoursun.com/charlotte...
8. This is Nick from earlier today, offering a beauty tip, courtesy Peace River muck. As he wrote on his FB page:
"Tannins and nutrients in the mud are excellent for skin health! Let it dry then wash it off, and your skin will be as smooth as a baby."
