Riding Waves of Hope with Cindy Fertsch

On today's episode, Patty welcomes Cindy Fertsch, co-founder of Heart of Surfing, to discuss how the organization strives to bring opportunity in honor of her late son Jamie, who was on the autism spectrum. Cindy shares Jamie's love for surfing, the community they have built for individuals with developmental disabilities, and the various activities they offer beyond surfing.
