So excited to wake every day – knowing I am one day closer to hitting the Louisiana swamps and making my way down to the Gulf of Mexico! Wahoo!! I am off to train in a 17′ sea kayak today, built for speed and distance, thanks to Southwest PaddleSports. Thank you James, Dave and Patti! You area all so amazing to sponsor your equipment, expertise and valuable time!!!

A huge thank you to our newest sponsors – FlowChem, Advanced Fire & Safety, The Document Group and the incredible Energy XXI employees! From Louisiana to Texas, every single sponsorship brings Taylor one step closer to his communication device, another year at his specialized school, and freedom from medical bills.

Let us be the voice of comfort and courage for all of the children with neurological disabilities that need our support, love and respect. And the next time you see a child with special needs – hug the parent and ask what you can do to help – even for a minute. We need you.
