Thanks, in a major part to other SA members, I won a $2,000 sponsorship from Prilosec in their Official Sponsor contest. Here is my winning page where you can view my application and story. I will be updating it in May and June with shark dive photos and vids!

I'm using the money to fund some safe, controlled shark and marine encounters for locals in the San Diego area. This will involve kayak/snorkel tours with harmless leopard sharks, encounters with dolphins/beluga whales, and even cage dives with blue sharks off the coast.

I lost my mom to cancer in 2007 and recently started the Heart of Travel Foundation. I'm not here to advertise but we are going to do some great things in the coming years. This is just a start. SA voters also helped me get my idea published in the September 2009 issue of Conde Nast Traveler magazine so thanks again for that!

.... dolphin swims are so amazing as therapy for autism and other conditions w/kids...how exciting. God Bless you and your efforts. Thanks u from a 2 time cancer survivor (me)!
 
Good for you! Sorry you lost your mom--cancer is such an unkind and unfair thing. This shark dive idea is a great one, and I also love the idea that life is about the milestones, the memories made along the way.

Good luck with your inaugural trips!
