Sled Hockey

Will has started to try out sled hockey. Ty & I went to watch today. Ty got out on the ice to help and ended up playing goalie. (And Will even scored on him!) It looked pretty fun and if I weren't preggo I would have gotten out there too! Will has also been meeting with someone to look into getting into kayaking. He continues to take 1 on-line nutrition course, but has otherwise put school on hold. He is working with vocational rehab and a counselor to work through a variety of issues.

Surf's up dude...

We headed to Wrightsville Beach this weekend in Wilmington, NC for the "They Will Surf Again Event" which was sponsored by Life Rolls On. Life Rolls On was founded by Jesse Billauer, a California surfer who was paralyzed as a teenager from a surfing accident in 1996. There were about 35 participants and about 200 volunteers. Will, Ty, & I had a blast. The waves were awesome! It was pretty cool to watch Will go way out, battling through the breakers and then come hauling ass in. It was a little nerve wracking to watch this, but each surfer had about 8 volunteers out there with them. Will went out twice, for about 20 min each time. I am going to try and post some videos and pictures. Here are links to the stories, pictures, & video on-line.
