<div>Hey friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today I'm stoked to be able to compete on the World Surf League Championship Tour, but my journey started on the beachfront in Durban.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I moved to the beachfront when I was 10 years old, and in so many ways, I grew up alongside the <strong>Surfers Not Street Children</strong> program. I spent countless days surfing with these kids, watching them grow, and seeing firsthand the incredible impact this program has on their lives
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s incredibly special to see how many lives Surfers Not Street Children has transformed, and to watch the program continue to grow and create opportunities for so many young people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, some incredible surfers from the program have taken another huge step towards their dreams. <strong>They’ve been selected to represent ESA at the SA Champs, where they’ll have the opportunity to compete for a South African title</strong>, and have also earned the <strong>incredible honour of representing South Africa at the ISA World Games</strong>. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Seeing these young surfers reach this point is incredibly special, knowing how far they’ve come and how much surfing and this program have given them. ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They’ve worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and now they need our help to make their dream of representing their country a reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Can you help support them in getting to the SA Champs and ISA World Games. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and mean so much to these young surfers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s help them get there and give them the opportunity to chase this dream. ❤️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Luke
