RINA'S BIRTHDAY WISH A little fundraising of her very own!
When I asked Rina what she wanted 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! So, Rina wanted to celebrate her birthday by celebrating Jo's 10 year anniversary of being cancer free! And raising funds for AmpSurf, the organization that gave Jo the opportunity to experience the healing power of the ocean. Rina would LOVE to help others like Jo... Whether they are an amputee, blind, suffer from PTSD, or have quadriplegia. Whether they served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf war, Iraq or Afghanistan. Whether they are a child of Autism, or a young woman who has lost a limb to Cancer, AmpSurf is there for them! Thank you for supporting my heroes, Jo & Rina... and Dana the Founder of AmpSurf!
AmpSurf offers a unique program to bring the healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing together for an experience that is both mentally and physically one of the best forms of rehabilitation on the planet. Be sure to join their Facebook page.
Ampsurf is a non profit organization made up of amputees, veterans and friends & family of the disabled. They want to Promote, Inspire, Educate, and Rehabilitate people with disabilities, especially veteran heros through adaptive surfing & fun safe outdoor activities all can participate in. One in five Americans struggle with a lifelong disability and nearly two million men and women have served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are coming home looking for ways to feel whole again and to fit back in to ”normal” life.
TOTAL RAISED: $3225

Rina's birthday is April
20th... and she turned 8 years old. I know she's getting older, so I want to
celebrate her life, and spend as much time as I can with her. I want
YOU, to get to know her better too.
