Patrick Ivison, an adaptive surfer, and surf dog Ricochet got together to tandem surf at Del Mar beach on Aug 20, 2009 for the first time. Patrick was run over by a car when he was a child, and suffered a spinal cord injury. He has used a wheelchair ever since. Ricochet fundraised to help offset costs of Patrick's physical therapy, and new service dog, and raised more than $10,000 for him! And, one of her sponsors, the Rose Foundation awarded a grant that will pay for an additional three years of his therapy! For more info/pictures or to make a tax deductible donation to one of Ricochet's causes go to http://www.SurfDogRicochet.com.

  • The bets Use of this Awesome Taylor Hicks Song wonderful Video thank you for sharing it with the world. Ricochet makes us Proud :).

  • Like, even though your guy is hosed, with your help he can truly enjoy life. You go, girl!

  • Great Video!!!

  • Wonderful and great to watch, but would be better served without the music. Let us have the joy of hearing everyone---enjoying themselves.

    Not trying to give offense, so please forgive me if it reads that way.

    Thanks!

  • you need to wake up rylla83

  • rylla83 - as a physiotherapist, I must say I think this is a fantastic program. It is apparent that Patrick has some control of his upper extremities and core muscles. Surfing prone is providing an excellent workout for him. Also, the psychological impact of SCI's can be as devastating as the physiological impact. If you have any question about the emotional benefits of this program, just watch the young man's face. I'd love to see more programs like this!

  • My middle school (Still middle school) are raising money to help. :)

  • Proof positive that God love us.
