Brian’s Heroes

 

Clay is stoked to hear about lives that he touches in the Autistic community through his surfing.
The following correspondence came to Clay from a family with an autistic 11 year old son. Their idea of creating a wall of heroes in the autistic spectrum to provide inspiration for their son is a moving way to inspire young aspies and autistic children.
Clay is thrilled to be a part of this individual family’s quest to inspire their son to greatness
