A very special feature by @scenicsir Niche Magazine. Thank you so much for the beautiful article written by Chris Dickerson and contributors @bodyworkbev and @heyjuliespears as well as photographers @laurenathaliatravel, Mike Ragsdale and Robert Young with @fyimages for the stunning imagery (I promise I did relay photo credit and it says photos came from me on the article, so there was some confusion). So grateful to get to lead this group for our community and create an impact and a platform for peace. Thank you to my cousin @chrisabbott3383 for having his agents attend a Gulf Therapy session and advocates like @newell3453 who helped make it happen. Also special thanks for local businesses who are consistently contributing to our events and cause like @bestonthecoast with @adventure30a, @yoloboardandbikes and @graytonbeachsurfclub who have a shoutout in the article. taken in Grayton Beach, Florida by @gulftherapy

Perfect morning for a nervous system reset with my friend @jennyotto7124. We were even graced with a rainbow! Remember, rainbows can only come after rain. Don’t give up during life struggles it is in the hardships that we grow the most if you keep your head above the clouds. taken in Eastern Lake At Seagrove Beach by @gulftherapy

The 6th Annual Paddle for Peace, benefiting local nonprofit Gulf Therapy, was one for the books. Led by founder Amanda Abbott, the event brought together 170 paddlers and raised over $27,000 for better mental health in our community.

This year was especially meaningful with a surfboard memorial honoring Zach Spears and so many others who left us too soon.

The community showed up in a BIG way with fresh food and juice, sound healing, four bands on the dock, an incredible raffle, and endless local support. We were even joined by a manatee and loggerhead sea turtle!

Us at Abbott Martin Group were beyond honored to be a sponsor at such an impactful event.

If you or someone you know needs mental health support, please visit GulfTherapy.org. 💙

A big thanks to Fletcher Isacks for the beautiful photos of the event!

Last weekend my friend, @heyjuliespears invited me to join her for @paddleforpeace, a fundraiser for @gulftherapy. Not only has @gulftherapy been a huge help to people I know personally, but also, they were honoring my dear friend Julie’s son, Zach who would’ve been 26 Saturday had he not passed away nearly 10 years ago. I didn’t know what to expect, but what I came away with was nothing but gratitude. Mental health is such a critical part of all of our lives. And I now understand how something as simple as paddling a SUP board can affect one’s mental health in so many positive ways. It was such a beautiful day! And I’m looking forward to being a part of it for years to come!!!

September is #SuicidePreventionMonth. 💜

Grayton showed off for Paddle for Peace! Bluebird skies and almost no wind made for a perfectly flat gulf. The bands on the dock were fantastic and the camaraderie and connections were special.

Already looking forward to next year’s event!
