To help raise funds for the family to help with funeral costs
Let's help the McLarin Family get through this difficult time and contribute to the funeral costs
Titirangi, Auckland
The kayaking community this week is remembering Simon McLarin, a legend and figurehead in the sport and especially at his home club, the Waitemata Canoe and Multisport Club.
Simon tragically suffered a medical event while out paddling on Saturday morning from the club in Auckland.
Simon was a true paddler in all senses of the word, competing locally, nationally and internationally across all disciplines for decades, taking home in-numerous titles and deeply involved in all aspects of kayaking and his club.
He leaves his family without any funeral insurance so lets help them through this difficult time!

Use of funds
The funds will help Jessica Wallace (Si's partner) and Simon's children, Jordan, Hayden and Sharmain Mclarin meet the funeral costs and any related costs.
