A family from Cincinnati, Ohio is planning to have marathon skiing adventure in a bid to raise money for a good cause.
The Miller family from Clermont County will water-ski from Ohio River to Cairo, Illinois this summer. The proceeds from the fund raising activity will go to Disabled American Veterans (DAV).
The Ohio River is about 980 miles long and runs from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Cairo, Illinois. It is in Illinois where Ohio and Mississippi rivers meet.
The event, called “Marathon Ski for DAV,” is expected to run from six days and will take place somewhere in July.
The undertaking will be spearheaded by father Mark Miller. During the activity, Miller and his two teenage sons will take turns in water skiing behind the family’s speed boat.
The family wants to spread awareness on the efforts made by the veterans during the war.

Model and TV presenter Katie Price has ventured into the world of business by launching her latest fashion line composed of children’s equestrian clothing. In finding her models for this undertaking, she did not have to search for long because she has her adorable kids to do the deed.
Instead of spending a lot of money on professional models, Price asked her two children, four-year old Junior and two-year old Princess to model her latest fashion line which is both for boys and girls. The kids seemed happy to do this deed as evidenced by the great photos produced during the shoot.
The children are no longer new when it comes to the spotlight. They were featured recently in Price’s reality show in ITV titled “What Katie Did Next.”
The latest fashion collection is slated for release later this year.
