On Saturday March 19th Trigg beach was the venue to get kids with Autism onto waves for the first time.
Surfers Healing Australia hosted the event & the day was incredible with quite a few of Perth's Sup community assisting & being rewarded by beautiful smiles.

Together we can all make a difference.

This is so good guys - great work, so great to see kids smiling.

The Journey

When I looked into your eyes
You didn't hold my gaze
I knew that you were different
In those early days

You didn't crave my cuddles
You wouldn't sleep at night
I knew deep down inside
That something wasn't right

You did not respond to me
When I called your name
I felt like a failure
And that I was to blame

I longed to hear your voice
But all you did was cry
I started to believe
There must be a reason why

When you got the diagnosis
I didn't know what to do
They told me you had Autism
And it would always be part of you

We had started a new journey
It had only just begun
I was still your mother
And you were still my son

Although you couldn't say the words
I knew you understood
That I would do my best for you
As every mother should

The road ahead was twisty
With many a sharp bend to turn
The path ahead seemed daunting
With so much about you to learn

Although I wasn't certain
Of exactly what to do
I soon began to realise
I would have to fight for you

Our journey would continue
We would stay on this road together
I would be right by your side
Always and forever

Do a search on youtube, some great footage of him in WA

That is awesome. I've been seeing heaps of articles lately about all the positives of surfing on both physical and mental health. Great to see kids stoked like that
