Miranda Fuentes, Surfers for Autism
Miranda Fuentes may not have founded Surfers for Autism, but
she certainly took it to the next level. When she discovered the Florida-based
group that uses surfing as a means to enable autistic kids to blossom, she
herself was struggling to communicate with her own autistic brother. Surfers
for Autism was able to help Miranda’s brother open up, which in turn
strengthened their sibling relationship.
But what’s even more significant is how Miranda herself
bloomed, evolving from a volunteer to a master instructor who teaches 150 kids
a year! Further still, she has worked to turn the organization’s one small
annual exhibition into a regular event involving thousands of kids,
instructors, and spectators.
