Life Rolls On Event Comes to Pier Village, Long Branch Enabling Paralyzed Athletes to Surf!
June 22nd, 2008- Pier Village Long Branch, NJ Program Summary They Will Surf Again, a no-cost program underwritten by Life Rolls On and generous sponsors <http://www.liferollson.org/site/pp.asp?c=egLLKTNJE&b=242310#Program_Spo nsors> , is the most popular program of Life Rolls On.
Injured athletes from around the country gather together for a day of surfing! Some have not surfed since their injury, some have never surfed, some surf all the time despite their varying mobility. TWSA connects dozens of volunteers, with a handful of injured surfers, together for a day of excitement, joy, and best of all, surf! Safety precautions and experienced watermen (and women), along with lifeguards will be present. No prior surfing experience is necessary.
Quality of Life surveys may be required for future participants. www.liferollson.org Read the TWSA Research Study (PDF) <http://www.liferollson.org/atf/cf/%7B1D2A912B-18DF-46DE-B267-DAEB32EF25EF%7 D/TWSA%20Program%20Design%20Package%202007.pdf>
Through the efforts of LRO Board Member Richard Yelland, TWSA was born many years ago with a San Diego to Santa Cruz surfing expedition raising funds and awareness for spinal cord injury research. TWSA has since grown into a bi-coastal outreach program, that is also major component of the US Open of Surfing, the largest surfing competition in the world! http://www.liferollson.org/site/pp.asp?c=egLLKTNJE&b=242310 <http://www.liferollson.org/site/pp.asp?c=egLLKTNJE&b=242310> http://www.liferollson.org/site/pp.asp?c=egLLKTNJE&b=932743 http://www.liferollson.org/site/pp.asp?c=egLLKTNJE&b=932743 <http://www.liferollson.org/site/pp.asp?c=egLLKTNJE&amp;b=932743>
