When you give, you will join Daryl Knudson, CNIB Lake Joe alumni and member of the Advisory Board, who made the initial donation of $10,000. He is particularly passionate about CNIB adding a waterskiing program since he has seen countless kids transformed by the waterskiing experience.

Josh is standing on the edge of the dock wearing a black shirt and shorts with a green life jacket. A set of blue and yellow water skiis on the dock, and he’s leaning against a wakeboard. He’s wearing sunglasses and smiling.
Joshua Cook, 23, started coming to CNIB Lake Joe when he was 12 and tried waterskiing at the camp three years later. 

“I wanted to waterski because I love the water,” he says. “I enjoyed winter skiing and snowboarding and thought about putting the two awesome things together and trying them. It was a fabulous, thrilling experience.”

“The sport is thrilling enough in its own right,” Daryl Knudson adds. “Being pulled behind a fast powerboat, the wind in your face.”

Some guests become skilled enough to cross the wake or drop a ski and go slalom. But for kids living with sight loss, learning how to waterski or wakeboard is a huge confidence-builder.

The Fundraising Committee members – Helen Hunt, John Perras and Daryl Knudson – are passionate about making this event a monumental success.
