I lost my entire right leg, pelvis and part of my hip (hemi-pelvectomy) to chondro-sarcoma (a rare form of bone cancer) and thought my chances of ever being physically active again, would never be possible. I learned to adaptive surf though (and got pretty good!) and through the generosity K2 Adventures Foundation and Kristen's and Kevin's compassion was awarded an adaptive surf board shaped by John Cherry of Cherry Surfboards. It's not only a beautiful board, but has all the adaptive qualities I need to get out in the ocean and feel the healing power and rush of the waves. Thank you K2 Adventures Foundation, Kristen & Kevin for making my dream come true!
With Gratitude,
Jo
