Surfer's Myelopathy awareness

A dear, kickass friend of mine tried surfing for the first time in Hawaii two years ago. He caught his first wave and never really bailed too hard. Then, a few hours later he was paralyzed from the waist down due to a condition called Surfer's Myelopathy.

Surfer's Myelopathy is a non-traumatic spinal cord injury that affects first-time surfers. Today, the Surfer' Myelopathy Foundation team announced the launch of the Foundation's website.

Check out the website, and although it's a rare condition, if you could find it in your heart to give to the foundation, I'd really appreciate it.
