LRO Mailbag:

"Inspiration can come in many forms, but none are quite as potent as involvement in Life Rolls On. Experience a day at a TWSA event or an evening at the Night By The Ocean, and you can almost begin to fathom the commitment and moxie it takes to be an active and happy human under the conditions of SCI. I leave every LRO event enthused and renewed by the humility and enthusiasm of everyone involved in LRO."

- Ross Garrett, Publisher of Surfing Magazine and Member of Life Rolls On's Board of Directors
