The following is being submitted to the Listserve on behalf of AmpSurf -
based in San Luis Obispo, CA.
AmpSurf is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization, made up of amputees,
veterans, friends and families of the disabled and depend on donations
for our operation. Our Goal is to Promote, Inspire, Educate, and
Rehabilitate people with disabilities, especially our veteran heroes
through adaptive surfing and fun, safe, outdoor activities that 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. Whether they are an
amputee, blind, suffer from PTSD, have quadriplegia, or suffer from a
traumatic brain injury (TBI). 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 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 rehabilitating.
For 9 years, AmpSurf has been providing our learn to surf clinics to
serve those who need us. We have served hundreds of our disabled
veterans American heroes as well as disabled adults and children who
probably never would have had this experience if it hadn’t been for our
program.
October 7th-10th, 2011 disabled veterans, police and firefighters, along
with other adults & children with disabilities will travel to Pismo
Beach, California to experience the healing power of the ocean and the
thrill of surfing. Many of these Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, & Marines
lost limbs, were burned, have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or have
PTSD from serving in operations overseas. Our police and firefighter
heroes were injured here at home in the line of duty. All will come to
experience something most thought they could not do. AmpSurf’s trained
instructors, along with professional and local surfers will provide surf
instruction for Operation Restoration.
This marks the sixth year of our Operation Restoration event, and the
ninth year AmpSurf has been putting these events together. AmpSurf’s
goal is to Promote, Inspire, Educate, and Rehabilitate through the
healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing. AmpSurf’s events have
grown from only from serving only a few to now serving over 300 people a
year.
