    15 year old Christian has fought valiantly since age 9 months,against the dreaded Dark Leviathan….Sir Tumor of Brain, and wanted to go deep sea fishing.

    Off to Venice to be on a boat, Not in Italy, but Florida, afloat.

    Christian’s Mom wrote “Brave Young Hearts, you do an incredible job putting these trips together. We are so thankful that Christian felt amazing the whole time. He loved seeing those fish in the water and being co captain. He ate the fish that was prepared for us the first night at Captain Eddies like nobody’s business. The first day on the boat was so beautiful. This was a first for the ocean, the white sandy beach, catching that big of fish... seeing a hammerhead shark, finding seashells, getting buried in the sand, for our WHOLE family.
    That in its self is an amazing memory. The bar has been set so high now, I don’t think there is another place as beautiful as where you sent us.
    Capt. Tom and Tricia were hands down the best.
    We didn’t even want to eat lunch either day... we were just enjoying life in the boat catching ALL. THOSE. FISH.
    When the rod went down and Capt Tom yelled... “let’s reel!!!” When we caught the 400lbs grouper and we jumped in the ocean to take pictures with it...
    Seeing all the fish that ocean life provides homes to.. amazing.
    Christian couldn’t get over the fact that we were seeing these fish in “reel” life. We got TWO days of this!!! Seeing puffer fish... key west fish.. small grouper... red snapper... in real life seeing the way crabs actually swim??!! Crazy? How jelly fish look in the ocean??
    The condo is Siesta Key???
    Absolutely beautiful.
    The beach?? Strikingly white!!!
    It was a blessing from the get go and we are forever in debt for this trip. Our kids couldn’t even think of one beat thing.. they all said “The whole trip”. Hands down”.
