Comopolitan Magazine named Brad Ludden, founder of a charity that teaches kayaking to children with cancer, Most Eligible Bachelor.

He has pledged to donate the $10,000 prize he received for the honor to First Descents.This prize money will allow at least 10 participants to programs in the summer of 2009!

Cloudveil and Backbone Media’s Sarah Hubbard knows Brad from when she served as First Descents camp director for a week of climbing here in Jackson Hole. Hubbard says it was the highlight of her summer.

Ludden’s dream inspired some people at Backbone Media and small group of committed Vail locals to help Brad start First Descents. What started as a one-week kayak camp in Vail has grown into nine camps, in three states, helping hundreds of young adults with cancer.

Because of his efforts (and hunkiness, no doubt), Ludden was chosen as Cosmopolitan’s Colorado Bachelor and yesterday, he was named Bachelor of the Year.
