Hi everyone,
Thank you for being a part of this NEVER QUIT message. To me, the message is what makes this event. I know the paratroopers and the red carpet, the sunglasses and pendants all make it interesting, but there is a much larger reason behind all of these things. I will make a video that will explain them, and at that time you may have a better understanding that things are not as they seem.
If you would, please watch the video at the the top of this page called: “NEVER QUIT, WHAT STARTED IT ALL” and the “NEVER QUIT MESSAGE”. It would mean so much if you are doing this event for the right reasons, knowing the real message that even makes this event happen. And then…, following are videos that ground me once again. From my parents and upbringing, I have come to understand that: hard work, dedicated love, doing things as a family, living a clean healthy active life and sailing under command of our heavenly “Master”, well, it makes life truly wonderful, it gives life purpose.
The following videos will make you better understand the reason for this NEVER QUIT event.
We ALL have a NEVER QUIT message. From the valleys of life to learning the reason why life is worth the living, we all have to ask ourselves …Who Will I Never Quit For ?
As Dad would always say and live his life by: FULL STEAM AHEAD -and- NEVER QUIT, NEVER!
With a NEVER QUIT attitude, negatives turn to positives, and once again, in some strange way, life truly becomes grand once again. Life on earth is short, is it not wonderful that we are living it for the right reasons.
I hope to meet you soon.
Your friend,
-Erik.

We are trying to raise $25,000 to help support the Jacksonville Beach American Red Cross Volunteer Lifesaving Corps. The Volunteer Lifesaving Corps was founded in 1912 at Jacksonville Beach by local citizens concerned about rising drowning rates. This year we are celebrating 100 years of continuing volunteer service to the residents and visitors of our beloved beach and are asking for your help to keep our coastline one of the safest in Florida.
