“So today at the beach an older woman approached our group and asked if we would help her with her husband. She said he has bad Dementia and likely has less than a year to live. She said he told her he wanted to boogie board one last time… like he used to do when he was younger.
So proud of my family and friends who didn’t hesitate to make this happen. Very cool and touching moment. Will never forget the joy on the man’s face”
