Leather Britches: Kayaking couple plan Alzheimer’s fundraiser

Keith Plunkett of Flora was kayaking Chunky River with his wife Sharon last fall when he had an idea: What if he could find a way to pursue his hobby while raising funds for a worthy cause ?
The result is a project he calls Lucy’s Revenge, in memory of his late grandmother Lucy Plunkett, who died in 1993 after suffering 10 years with Alzheimer’s.
“I thought, this was a great way to give back to my grandmother, because she was a very big part of my life,” said Plunkett, 39.
On Thursday, Plunkett met for a brainstorming session with several people he thought could help with the project. They included Patty Dunn, state operations director for the Alzheimer’s Association; Laura Mann, producer and director for Mississippi Public Broadcasting; Mike Jones, program manager for the Mississippi Division of Tourism; Paul Collins, director of park operations for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks; and David Hales, Plunkett’s longtime friend who will serve as technological consultant.
