Have you ever shared tears of joy with a complete stranger? Well, If you've been to "A Walk On Water" event you have. A lot of charities are about fancy dinners and advertising their celebrity support. "A Walk On Water" is about rolling up your sleeves and getting right into the ocean. To attend an event is the real way to understand and see what AWOW is about. It's not till you witness a special needs child take the first wave of their life and see tears of joy running down their parents face that you truly get it. To have a parent look at you and say; "Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see my child surf!" will open your heart in ways you never thought possible. It opened mine! Anything is possible when you connect the ocean, a board, willingness, a selfless community - AWOW and a whole lotta love.
