Local man plans to paddle 80 miles to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis

A Sarasota County man prepares to paddle from the Bahamas to Florida to raise money for an organization that helps people living with cystic fibrosis. Robert Martini is a lifeguard on Siesta Key. In his free time, he looks for his next challenge. "As a water man, I've done the Molokai to Oahu prone 32 miles and I’ve also done the Catalina Classic from Catalina Island to Manhattan Beach prone as well that’s also 32 miles. I just needed something to challenge myself mentally and physically," said Martini.
