Surf Therapy Fundraiser – Wave Challenge<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n On the 3rd of December 2023 the Roxy Davis Foundation will celebrate\u00a0International Day of Persons with Disabilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n Every year we celebrate in style – last year we were at the 2022 ISA World Para Surf Championships in California with 14 South African Para Surfers. The\u00a0Surf Therapy Fundraiser is to cover the costs for 30 new surfers with disabilities to each receive 6 Surf Therapy sessions in 2024\u00a0<\/strong>. Entry into the\u00a0Wave Challenge<\/strong>\u00a0on 3 December is in the form of a donation.<\/p>\n To thank ‘corporate’ donors for each new surfer they support, 6 of their team members are invited to volunteer on 3 December 2023.<\/p>\n On this special day the Roxy Davis Foundation aims to highlight inclusion and the multiple ways we as a community can adapt – we will do this by sharing the Surf Therapy programme and the positive change it has for people with disabilities. Every surfer needs a team, some 2-3 volunteers\/coaches and others up to 8. Safety first – there will be experienced volunteers in every team to make sure everyone is safe and having the best experience possible.<\/p>\n To make this\u00a0Surf Therapy Fundraiser – Wave Challenge<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0a reality we need your help.<\/p>\n The more volunteers there are, the more surfers there will be to complete the RECORD; we have a waiting list of surfers, together we can provide the much needed inclusive environment,\u00a0Surf Therapy and\u00a0make a NEW RECORD by surfing the Wave Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Feel free to get in touch with me if you need anything,<\/p>\n Fiona<\/p>\n
\nThis year we will be at\u00a0Surfers Corner, Muizenberg breaking a record by completing the Wave Challenge\u00a0<\/strong>inclusive of adaptive surfers and support teams.<\/p>\n
\nSurfers may come from special needs facilities such as schools, rehabilitation centres or care facilities. Costs covered include disability friendly transport and guardians of children and vulnerable adults.<\/p>\n\n
\nEveryday people create extraordinary moments, this is ‘your’ opportunity to experience Surf Therapy and make a positive impactful change.<\/p>\n
\nDepending on whether you\/the volunteer would like to be on land or in the water – you will be allocated a role and receive training on the day.<\/p>\n\n
