Dear Bethany,
On behalf of our family we would like to thank you soooooo much for the care package you sent to our daughter Caroline! she is truly inspired by Bethany and was so excited to receive the envelope in the mail! Our family watched the DVD of Bethany together and we are absolutely amazed and grateful for all that she does! She truly is blessed and has an amazing spirit! We feel blessed to have her as an inspiration for our daughter who was born with only one hand! I believe God has Graced us with our beautiful daughter so that she may go out and be an inspiration to others as Bethany has inspired so many... Thank you again!!!! - Chris, Carlee Lily and Caroline M.

Dear Bethany,
Surviving a major event like this is pretty darn tough. Trying to describe in words how it felt to receive so much love is just as tough... Thank you for backing me up and encouraging me to get strong, break out and take off...back into my LIFE! Additionally, thanks for sending out a DIY Surf Handle packet. I look forward to installing it and taking a paddle. I have found solid motivation & support from watching your many YouTube videos, so cheers for posting them... Thanks, Eduardo

I would love to get involved. Thanks!

Thankyou,kyanna
admin - Nope! You can help us raise support from wherever you live!
haha! Just get creative and help raise funds to help amputees and shark attack survivors!
As of right now there are 2 more months left in our Help Inspire Campaign. Checkout Crowdrise.com for ideas to hold your own fundraiser for FOBH. You could ask for pledges for a hula hoop contest, you could host a hawaiian themed party and ask for donations from the friends who come, you could probably think of even better ideas than these

Mathew Ferkovich - Dear,
Bethany, I currently live in Wyoming, but Will be soon moving to Oregon, Washington, California, or Hawaii. Ever since I read your book Soul Surfer, and seen your movie Soul Surfer, I have been extremely inspired by YOU and all other professional surfers. My favorite Pro surfers are Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Josh Kerr, Julian Wilson, Lakey Peterson, Sally Fitzgibbons, Alana Blanchard, And Of Course you Bethany.The primary reason for my moving is so that I can do some surfing. When I was about 13 a cousin of mine taught me how to surf. I also have spent a lot of time playing in the Pacific Ocean. If ever you, or you organization needs a volunteer, I am always available.

Amanda Witko - Hey Bethany,
It was great to meet you this Sunday. I work with the Naval Medical Center San Diego’s Surf Clinic every Thursday. We would love to connect you with amputees in the clinic learning to surf. If you are in San Diego again, come join us. I work with a few different organizations in San Diego- maybe we can coordinate a trip to get some of our amputees to Hawaii.

Ariana - Hi Bethany! Thankyou so much for inspiringly others around the world! You have made a big impact on many lives! I ran into the movie soul sufer on a trip but I had no idea what it was going to change me forever. I was at a store to buy a movie for a six hour car ride and I couldn’t find any other movies having to do with water ( I love all things ocean), so at last resort I picked soul surfer. Then after watching it I felt changed like god wanted me to see that movie so I would be closer to him.
Thank you Bethany!
Gaby Peters - Hey
I’ve just finished watching the film soul surfer and was truly inspired by Bethany’s story! I found this website and found the volunteer section! I’m currently 15 years old and live in England. I am currently studying media and art as a GCSEand wondered if in any way I could help with ‘friends of Bethany’ designing leaflets creating press movies for England?! Nothing is ever too much trouble for me!
If there is absolutely anything I could help with I would love to! Please contact me on the email address I sent this on!
Yours sincerely
Gaby
