Posted in 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.
