On behalf of the Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach surf community, I am reaching out seeking support for the Crandell family. Carson is currently in Chapel Hill recovering from emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage.

Carson Crandell is a remarkable 13-year-old, and navigating the challenges of Crohn's disease with extraordinary strength. A competitive gymnast and surfer, Carson's spirit remains undeterred despite her health discovery. Her parents, Heather and Chad, and little sister, Finley, are rays of sunshine to our surf community.

Your generosity can make a profound difference in Carson's journey. Contributions will help cover her medical expenses, functional labs and supplements that are not covered by insurance and travel expenses, allowing the Crandell family to focus on what truly matters—Carson's health and well-being. Thank you for your kindness and support.
