Love to do something on this side of the coast Phil - I'm currently working with a couple of Autistic kids and one with Aspergers and they are having such a great time!

Let's get this happening then - one on the Surf Coast and one on the Mornington Peninsula.

Count me in also.. Years ago Laird started it all with a bike ride from London to the water.. Then SUP across the English channel.. and once on French soil he rode into Paris.. It's a great cause.

Love this idea! I work for a foster care agency, with children with mild intellectual disabilities, behaviour problems, and possibly on the autism spectrum. I'm passionate about making a difference in the lives of these disadvantaged, vulnerable kids, and about SUP, so can really see the potential!

I am in, my son has Aspergus Syndrome and when he was a young kid I learnt that sport was a way to motivate him and keep him engaged. He used to love sailboarding and I know the peace that water can bring to these kids.

Hi Guys,

Support is coming in thick and fast from all over Aussie and it just shows how generous people are with their time.

I am collating the information and contact details and passing information back to the contacts in the states.

I will keep people informed as to how things progress.

Thank you yet again for the support for this cause.
