Surfing in Malibu with Life Rolls On!

Alyson had the opportunity to participate in another surfing event with the non-profit, "Life Rolls On," which provides opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in action sports again. And what a day this was!

The entire group of participants, volunteers, and sponsors. "Life Rolls On"
really knows how to gain support!

Alyson with Scott Caan, another fantastic volunteer that day! He was right
by Alyson's side the entire time while out in the water!


Ms. Wheelchair CA, Alyson Roth, and 1st Runner Up, Jennifer Kumiyama, had the
chance
to take pictures with "Life Rolls On" founder, Jessie Billauer (middle).

Here is the entire Blue Team that helped Alyson into the water and helped
her catch about five waves (including 2 wipe outs).

EXTRA! television was there for Life Rolls On and asked to interview Alyson after she came out of the water. What a treat! And not only that, but she had the opportunity to interview CBS's "The Mentalist" star, Simon Baker.


How can you not smile at Life Rolls On supporter, Simon Baker? He was one of the hardest working volunteers out there that day. He never stopped, and was always there when a participant needed him.


Here is a more in-depth interview by Extra (aired on July 21, 2009).










Again, a huge thanks to Life Rolls On and their fantastic outreach programs for people with spinal cord injuries and disabilities in general. You make life that much more valuable to people everywhere!
