my new & beautiful friend Amanda was just tapped to run development for Life Rolls On, an organization that aims to "inspire others to see the boundless possibilities beyond paralysis."

as someone who knows the profound healing benefits of spending time out in the ocean, i feel indebted to organizations that focus on making the magic of surfing available to those who may not take it upon themselves to find a way out there. (Surfers Healing is another organization close to my heart). so when Amanda asked me if I'd like to stop by and take photographs, i jumped at the chance.

the short surf sessions create a ripple effect of love, gratitude and excitement - for the athletes, their families on the beach, and the volunteers.
