CELEBRATING JESSIE'S LIFE
Jessica Joy Rees
was a beautiful, giving, and incredibly brave 12 year old girl. On
March 3 2011, an MRI found she had an in-operable brain tumor. In September,
another brain tumor was found.
On January 5, 2012, 10 months, and 2 days
later, she earned her wings, and now looks down on us from heaven. I started
a fundraiser for her NEGU Foundation, which was Jessie's motto... never,
ever give up. With the help of my pawmazing donors, $5500 was raised.

SURFIN'
SANTA PAWS HOWLIDAY GIVING DRIVE
This was my third
year doing a Howliday drive. The first year it was for kids, the 2nd
year it was for kids & kritters. THIS year, it was even more
widespread, with several different drives all bunched into one.
And, the focus was on kids helping kids & animals in need!
The drives included a kritter toy drive.
Rina's getting involved this year & is having a soles for souls shoe
drive. A few of my kid FURiends are have special projects that I'm
helping them with too. Cole is an 11 year old boy with leukemia
who's having a Christmas Toy Drive for other kids in the hospital.
Maria is an 18 year old girl who works with her dog Stacey Mae bringing
teddy bears to kids in hospitals & folks in nursing homes. Emersyn is a
10 year old girl who uses her love for crafts by

BAGS TO BOWLS FOOD DRIVE FOR SHELTER ANIMALS
As part of the Iams/Helen Woodward Animal
Center's Home 4 the Holidays adoption drive, Iams had a food drive
called
Bags to Bowls, and their goal was to donate 5 million bowls of food
to the 3500 animal shelters that participate in the program.
Iams gave me the opportunity to raise some of those
bowls. They gave me 50 bowls for every comment I got on this picture I
posted on my Facebook page. The plan was for me to hold this drive
throughout the holiday season. But, in just over 24 hours, I had over
20,000 comments, which came out to 1 million bowls of food!! So,
my food drive campaign ended early, but we were able to feed a LOT of
animals!
TOTAL RAISED: 1 MILLION BOWLS OF FOOD
DONOR: Iams

PETS
N' PAIRS CONTEST from
Shoes.com
Rina has a "thing" for shoes.
Anytime someone comes over, she grabs a shoe, wags her tail, and greets
the visitor. There are usually several shoes in our yard and driveway,
and mom often has to ask Rina where her other shoe is. Shoes.com
had a photo contest, and pets were to enter a picture of them with
shoes. Rina entered this one, and won! The prize is a $100
giftcard to shoes.com, AND even better, a $100 donation to Petfinder!
TOTAL RAISED: $100

PAWING
IT FORWARD FOR RUDY!
My FURiend,
Rudy Rudalicous San Diego
County Ambassador of Love passed over to the Rainbow Bridge on September
20, 2011.
Another FURiend, Katy Reilly Myers had the most pawmazing idea to honor Rudy. I was
so touched, I immediately wanted to help facilitate it! So, together, with
Katy, and Rudy's FURiends, we pawed it forward for Rudy. He was a rescue from
Rancho Coastal Humane Society, and Katy thought it
would be grrreat to rally Rudy's FURiends together to make donations on
behalf of Rudy to purchase a memorial brick that will be engraved with a
tribute, and permanently placed on the RCHS Military Working Dog Memorial,
located in Cricket's Corner Dog Park.
Rudy used to
play there.
We raised enough funds to also pay for the adoption fees
once Rudy's mom Laura, and his brother Marley are ready for a new family
addition. The remainder of the funds will go to RCHS animal fund. For

SURFIN'
TO CHASE AWAY K9 CANCER
I was
a charity partner with the
Surf City Surf Dog
surf contest on September 25th, 2011 in Huntington Beach, and
Chase Away K9
Cancer was my beneficiary.
I surfed the event in memory of Chase, and all my
other friends who lost their battle to cancer.
One in 4 dogs die of cancer, and many others will get
very, very sick from the effects of cancer. Sadly, an estimated 50
percent of all dogs will die of this disease... together we can make a
difference!

IT FORWARD - VIDEO GAME & DVD MOVIE DRIVE
IN HONOR OF TRINITY
This was a fundraiser where people didn't have
to outlay any cash, but they still get a tax write off!
They
sent me DVD and/or Video Games
they didn't use anymore as a donation. They
sent DVDs, Wii, DS, PS2, PS3 PSP,
Xbox or Xbox 360 games that
were already played.
After I
collected them all, I sent them to a re-selling company. They
re-sold them to retailers that sell used games and movies. They
gave me 70% of the value of the
games I collected. The average dollar amount returned back to
participating programs has been about $2500 on an estimated 400 products
collected. For more info, go to my
Game & Movie Drive page.

A FURIEND, MAY 2011
One of my Facebook FURiends,
Pet Pardons
had a contest. Whatever page brought them the most "likes" would win $500.
Thanks to my pawmazing fans, I sent the most likes to them, so I won. In the
spirit of pawing it forward, I asked Pet Pardons to split the prize five
ways, to other causes with more need. It went to five different rescue
groups.
That contest inspired me, so, I created the "FURiends of Facebook Awareness
& Fundraiser. The page/cause that sent the most referral FURiends to
my
Surf Dog
Ricochet Facebook Page within a 4 day period, would get $500 donation to
their cause from me (Puppy Prodigies). I ended up giving the 1st place cause
$500, and then the 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th places got $100 each. To see a list
of the recipients, go to my

PAWING
IT FORWARD TO HELP JESSIE SPREAD JOY!
I met my new FURiend
Jessica Joy Rees
on her
Facebook page. She is a beautiful 12 year old girl. Sadly, on
March 3, 2011 an MRI
revealed she has a in-operable brain tumor.
When Jessica found out she had a brain
tumor, she realized there are a lot of people who wanted to help her. But,
she also realized there are a lot of people who NEED help. She was
thinking of others despite her own challenges. I was immediately
connected to her spirit of wanting to help others... it kind of parallels my
initiative of
Pawing It Forward, so I created this fundraiser "Pawing It Forward to
Help Jessie Spread Joy".
Jessica and her family formed a non profit
organization called
The NEGU Foundation, which stands for Never Ever Give Up...
Jessica's motto! Jessica has inspired thousands of people to NEGU! The
Foundation will deliver Hope and Joy to
children who have received a diagnosis similar to Jessica’s,
and help fund cancer research.

RINA'S
BIRTHDAY WISH
My sister, Rina's birthday is April
20th... she'll be 8 years old.
When I asked what she
wants for her birthday, she didn't hesitate... "I want to try fundraising like you do, Ricochet... I
wish for a fundraiser of my very own!" I then asked her who she
wanted to fundraise for. Again, she didn't hesitate...
"I want to fundraise for
Associaton
of Amputee Surfers - AmpSurf. I want to help people like our good
FURiend, Julie (AKA One Legged Jo)." She helped mom a LOT during the
fear/anxiety stage of her open heart surgery. She shared details of her
experience with cancer & losing part of her pelvis and right leg to a
hemipelvectomy due to cancer. She is one of the bravest, most inspirational
people we know... I'm so lucky I get to surf with her at AmpSurf clinics!

SPOKESDOG
& FUNDRAISER FOR REALITY RALLY, BENEFITING MICHELLE'S PLACE
Reality Rally
was a three-day weekend event intended to raise funds for
Michelle's
Place, a resource center where women can go for help in coping
with the challenges of breast cancer.
Teams
consisting of
Reality Stars and the
public who wanted to play a 4-hour "Amazing Race" kind of game,
raced throughout Temecula, California in a
competition involving crazy activities and fun challenges, all for
the coveted trophy, cash prizes, and most importantly raising funds
for Michelle's Place.
When I first heard about Reality Rally, I thought
it'd be fun to participate on a team. But, after meeting with
Gillian, the creator and Rally Master, she thought I'd serve the
rally better by being a Reality Rally spokesdog. I'm honored because
the word "reality" means so much to me, as I've seen so many dreams
become reality with the fundraising and inspirational work I do.
I was thrilled to be part of this "reality"... that benefited Michelle's Place.

TIDAL
WAVE FOR TARGET'S BUNKER
I
encouraged people all over the world to help raise funds and awareness for
Target's Bunker so a tidal wave of support was created!
Target saved the lives
of many soldiers in Afghanistan when a suicide bomber walked into a Border
Patrol compound.
Target, along with two other stray dogs,
attacked the bomber.
Despite the bombing... she survived. SGT Terry Young adopted Target, and
brought her back to live with him in Arizona. One Friday afternoon, Target
got out of the yard, and ended up in a shelter. Tragically, by Monday
morning, she was erroneously euthanized. Target's Bunker has been formed
with the hope of keeping another tragedy like Target's from happening ever
again.

TURNING
VOTES INTO VOICES - TARGET'S BUNKER
On January 7th, I was contacted by USA Today, and
told I was one of five nominees in "the Most Heroic Dog of 2010". I
was excited, and honored. I started asking my supporters to
vote for me, but quickly started feeling awkward about it... like it
just wasn't right.
That's because one of the other nominees was Target. And,
Target deserves this title... she IS this title! So, rather than
continue to ask my supporters for their votes, I decided to ask
Target's dad, SGT Terry Young, what I could do to celebrate Target's
life & help raise awareness of HER cause.
Target saved the lives of many soldiers in Afghanistan, only to lose
hers by being erroneously euthanized by an officer at Pinal County
Animal Care and Control in Arizona. Her cause is
Target's Bunker formed with the hope of keeping another tragedy
like Target's from happening ever again. This no kill shelter
will use every means available to save as many animals as possible.

SNUGGIE PUP BLANKET & TOWEL
DRIVE
On,
January 3rd, I was invited to "speak" at
Mt. Helix Academy
in La Mesa, California's
Roots & Shoots
program at a local school.
The Roots & Shoots program is
part of the Jane Goodall Institute, and is about
making positive change happen—for our communities, for animals and for the
environment. With tens of thousands of young people in almost 100 countries,
the Roots & Shoots network connects youth of all ages who share a desire to
create a better world. Young people identify problems in their communities and
take action.
The kids asked for my help with a blanket
and towel drive for Helen Woodward Animal
Center, and they named it... Snuggie Pup!!
For the month of January, they will be taking donations of
new, or lightly used blankets and towels for the dogs and cats at Helen
Woodward. Then, at the beginning of February, they'll take a field trip,
with me to deliver the blankets and towels to the animals!! Click here

DOG WALK FOR BREAST CANCER
On October 17, 2010, Rina and I participated in the
3 Dog Walk for breast cancer, sponsored by DogTown San Diego and the Three
Dog Bakery.
Breast cancer is a widespread
and random disease, striking women and men of all ages and races. It is
the most prevalent cancer in the world today, with about 1.3 million
people diagnosed annually. The exact cause of the disease is unknown,
and at this time, there is no cure.
But there is hope! Through research, we
can fight this disease. With the help of our donors and supporters, we were
the top fundraisers! The prize was an overnight stay at the
L'auberge Seaside Resort & Spa. We donated the prize back to Susan
G. Komen, so they could provide the stay to a woman currently in treatment
that could use a stress free get-a-way.
TOTAL RAISED:
$1015
DONORS

A
WHEELCHAIR FOR TAMANDRA
My friend Tamandra has
spina bifida, and uses a wheelchair. The wheelchair she had
was dangerous due to a poor fit. She often fell out of her chair
because it lurched forward. Then, the
unthinkable happened... the
frame snapped in half, and it slammed
her into the sidewalk very hard.
She often flipped over backwards because of the configuration, and the
last time, she ended up with staples in her head.
When I heard the pawful details, I knew I
HAD to do something!! So, I contacted
TiLite.
They make custom wheelchairs completely to the individual's specifications!!
I shared my SURFice dog video with them, and explained how I try to paw it
forward by helping others. They immediately wanted to help too!
They donated a custom chair for Tamandra!!! Now, I don't have to worry
about her anymore!
I can't thank TiLite enough for becoming
one of my donors, and making a HUGE difference in Tamandra's life.

learn more about Tamandra's story!
Be sure to visit TiLite's website, and
join their
Facebook page.

MOM'S
BIRTHDAY WISH
Mom said she
made one good decision in my life, allowing
me to "be" who I truly
am. She wanted me
to help one person with a disability, as a service dog. But, once
she let go of her
expectations, it became crystal clear that I
wanted to help millions! She is now committed
to facilitating MY mission and journey.
Due to mom's physical issues,
I wouldn't be able to fulfill the surfing part
of my SURFice dog role without the amazing
people who help in the water. Most of these folks also volunteer with
several adaptive surfing organizations.
So, rather than a birthday wish or gift, mom wanted
to honor all these selfless people through a donation to
one of the organizations below:
Association of Amputee Surfers
Helen Woodward Animal Center
Ocean Healing Group
Pets for Patriots
Surfers Healing
Wheels 2 Water
Mom says thank you for granting her birthday
wish!

"AN EXTRA-ORDINARY MIRACLE"
FUNDRAISER FOR FINNLEY
Finnley was born with brain damage due
to oxygen being cut off to her brain. She was only expected to live one
to 72 hours. But 2 1/2 years later... she is a miracle! Her brain damage
caused cerebral palsy, seizures, and vision impairment. She's not
able to walk or talk right now, but loves classical music! She also
finds great joy in the water. Her cerebral palsy tightens her muscles,
but when she's in a pool, she's able to move her arms and legs. Her
parents want to get a therapeutic swimming pool, but it costs $11,000!
So, I held a fundraiser to help Finley get the
pool she needed! To see a video of Finley in a pool,
click here.
To read more about Finley, check out her
blog
Click here to
see my amazing donors for this fundraiser
I contacted Endless Pools, and shared my SURFice dog
video & Finnley's story, they immediately wanted to get involved in the
project. They gave me a significant special needs discount off the $11,400 price!!!
WOOF WOO! So with the funds my donors helped me raise & the discount
Endless Pools gave, the family only had to come up with $2560, which they had already raised with their own
fundraisers.
Thank you, Endless Pools, you are absolutely PAWMAZING!
I can't thank you enough for making Finnley's extra-ordinary miracle come
true!
Please visit Endless Pools at
http://www.endlesspools.com
And on Facebook at
http://www.facebook.com/EndlessPools
TOTAL COST OF POOL: $11,400
AMOUNT FAMILY PAID: 2,560
TOTAL RAISED: $8840
Which includes the donations from my donors, and the special needs discount
from Endless Pools.

DONORS

Endless
Pools gave us a 60% discount on the pool, so the
family was able to purchase it with the $2000 my donors helped me raise & $2560
of their own fundraising $$. As a result Finnley was able to start her
therapy MUCH sooner! Thank you Endless Pools!!

HELEN WOODWARD
ANIMAL CENTER SURF DOG SURF-A-THON
On September 12, 2010, I surfed in the Helen
Woodward Animal Center's Surf Dog Surf-a-thon. This event was held to
raise funds and awareness for orphaned animals, while promoting responsible
pet ownership.
In 2009, I won 2nd place overall in the surf contest,
but this year, my goal was to be the top fundraiser and win 1st place in
donations! That would be the best prize ever!!
I did end up being the top fundraiser for
2010, but not only that... I raised more money than any individual
fundraiser in the whole five years the contest has been in existence.
Thank you to my donors for helping me raise $3035!!

DOGGIE
WHEELCHAIR FOR LADY AT OCEAN HEALING GROUP
My good friends at
Ocean Healing Group provide
once in a lifetime sports adventures in Costa Rica
to wheelchair bound kids. There's a little dog named
Lady, who hangs out with the kids on the beach & camp. In April of
2010, she suddenly lost use of both her back legs. They think something
may have fallen from a tree onto her back (they're in the jungle!).
The xray showed a lesion on her spine. At first she was in a lot of
pain, and spent a week at the hospital. But she no longer seems to be in
pain, but drags herself all around.
She ended up with a spinal cord injury just like many of
the kids at the camp, so
it's pretty ironic that Lady suffered one too.
When I heard about Lady, I wanted to do something right
away! So, I contact the most amazing folks at
Eddie's
Wheels, and they donated a doggie wheel chair for Lady!
Now, Lady will be able to hang out with the kids on the
beach once again. Check back for pictures of Lady in her new
chair!!
Thank you so much, Eddie & Leslie... you are PAWMAZING!!
Click
here to see a video of Lady after her injury
Click here to see pictures of Lady with her new wheelchair!

PUPDATE! Lady was adopted to someone in the US, and will
be getting the therapy she needs. Vets are hopeful she will
recover!

CANCER WALK
Canine cancer claims the lives of one in four dogs. Many more
suffer its terrible effects. Most of us have either loved or know
someone who loved a dog with cancer. Together we can cure this
disease! I virtually walked for the Morris Foundations
Canine Cancer Walk while I was injured.

IAN
WILL SURF AGAIN, Jan 2010
Ian, a six year old boy who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a tragic
car accident that claimed the lives of his parents. Ian used to surf with
his daddy,
but was scared to get back on a board after the
accident. That was... until me! Now he even likes wiping out!
I held a fundraiser for him to help offset the costs of all his
therapies.
We plan to
continue our surf therapy!
