Paddling for Better Days in Montana

HELENA, Mont., April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- "The vision was really simple for First Descents, and that was just to teach young adults with cancer how to kayak," said Brad Ludden.

In Changing Currents, the first episode in Discover Your #MontanaMoment video series from Montana Office of Tourism and Business Development, kayaker and outdoor adventurer Brad Ludden leads a group of extraordinary young adults on a challenging ride on the rushing rapids of Montana.
