Title: Help Shawnie & C.C. Chase Their Dream in Hawaii, to be an Adaptive World Champion!!
Shawnie Whitaker and C.C. Roberts have been best friends since the 4th grade. Life threw everything at them—tragedy, pain, and loss—but they never stopped showing up.
• Shawnie was just 16 when a devastating car crash left him in a coma for 28 days and took his leg.
• C.C. was in the backseat of a wreck that shattered his neck and back—leaving him a quadriplegic.
Most would’ve given up. But not these two.
Now, going on 52 years old, they’re doing the impossible—traveling to Hawaii to represent Team USA in the World Adaptive Surfing Championships, with 19 countries competing!!
Two childhood friends. Two survivors. One unforgettable dream.
These two young men find it hard to ask for help!
So we are putting together a GoFundMe to help C.C. & Shawnie with their hotel stay, car rental, and entry fees!!
Your donation will help cover:
• Lodging $2495.00
• Car rental $625.00
• Competition entry fees $200.00 each
If these two have ever inspired you…
If you believe in hope, resilience, and the power of friendship…
Now is the moment to step in.
Help Shawnie and C.C. live their dream, honor their journey, and make history in Hawaii.
They’re not just chasing waves.
They’re chasing purpose, healing, and a shot at something bigger than themselves.
Thank you for standing with them. Thank you for believing.
Let’s send these champions to Hawaii!
— With love,
Team Shawnie & C.C.
