After paddling more than 100 miles through the Florida Keys, the Sebastian Strong Foundation @sebsstrong made their final stop right here at Boyd’s Campground — and we were honored to welcome them. 💛🛶
Their journey may have ended, but the mission continues.
They’re still raising funds through May 31 to reach their goal of $300,000 — and so far, they’ve raised $211,000 to fund groundbreaking childhood cancer research.
Let’s help them cross that final finish line. 🏁
With your support, we can reach the goal. Every donation — big or small — brings us closer to cures, hope, and a future where no child faces cancer alone. Visit our link in bio to learn more about their journey and how you can make a difference.

Join the Journey to Cure Childhood Cancer!
We’re proud to support Kayaking the Keys for Hope 2025, a 110-mile paddle from Key Largo to Key West, raising funds for the SebastianStrong Foundation—a nonprofit committed to funding safer, more effective treatments for kids with cancer.
Founded in memory of 15-year-old Sebastian Ortiz, the SebastianStrong Foundation supports groundbreaking research to help children fighting cancer live longer, healthier lives.
From May 12–16, paddlers have been & will continue to travel the length of the Florida Keys, and we’re thrilled to announce that Boyd’s Campground will once again be the final stop on their inspiring journey! We can’t wait to welcome these incredible kayakers, precious superheroes living with cancer, and supporters back to the campground as they finish their trek and celebrate the hope they’re paddling for.
This is the group that is kayaking the entire 110 miles from Key Largo to Key West. From left - Jake, Alex, Diego, Oscar (Sebastian’s Dad), and Ryan.
Diego and Sebastian were best friends. You can read Diego’s “Why He Paddles” and the mission statement of SebastianStrong Foundation here secure.qgiv.com/event/kayakingthekeysforhope2025/account/2011308/.
They are aiming, as a team, to raise $300,000. Each kayaker and road crew member has individual goals which help the group reach their final goal of $300,000. That amount will care for families individually, and fund a research grant to find less toxic and more targeted treatment options for children living with pediatric cancers.
With over $177,000 already raised, they’re well on their way to achieving their goal.
You can make a difference.
Donate, cheer them on, and help us spread the word! Every dollar supports life-saving research for children battling cancer.
