Inspiring SUPers
« on: January 03, 2017, 03:50:04 PM »
I ran across this article: http://goodnewsfl.org/surfers-for-autism-raises-awareness/ today and it reminded me of the Surfers Healing event that was at Wrightsville Beach, NC this past August. It's an organization that takes kids with autism surfing. It was an amazing and very moving event. If you've never attended one it's definitely worth either attending or even volunteering. Anyway, that got me wondering if there's something like that in the SUP community. I was really proud to find that my home-state of NC has a paddleboarding event to raise awareness and funds for autism
https://paddleguru.com/races/StandUpforAutismWPAPaddleboardRace2016. Also, I found an autism FITT club. It's so inspiring to me that children and adults with this condition don't let it get them down. These folks don't make excuses! I strive to be like that.
