"Hey gurl you are a true inspiration to a great many people far and wide, your courage, strength and determination allows others to find strength in them selfs that perhaps they did not realize they possessed. Weather you realize it or not every day you change someones life for the better. You give them something back, the realization that anything is possible with the right resilience and drive. Im truly moved and touched by your willpower and outlook on life. You only live once and you must make the best of every situation that is presented to you. You have excelled at this, just when things to seem so dark. I look at you and all of the obstacles you over came by your love of surfing, and it gives me strength to face my fears of life. Enriching every day making the most of it and thanking each moment im blessed with. So I thank you and your family for being so strong and sharing your story with the world.
My best wishes to you all,
