EPIC JOURNEY

Coos Bay OR

Description

This skate trek starts in Eugene on September 12th from Washington/Jefferson skatepark. This is a mission and memorial to raise funds and awareness for youth mental health. This is an unprecedented journey of 831 miles on skateboard down Highway 101! Mike Crespino's mission is to bring a memorial skate deck to Drake Moody, brother of beloved local skater Ben Moody who passed recently this year. We hope to raise funds for a memorial bench for Ben and for Silas "Steezy"Strimple (skater who passed in 2021) the memorial will be a way for friends, family, and community to honor the boys. This mission has alot of heart and an entire community and extended family of the boys are feeling it. HOW CAN YOU HELP? Donations are welcome. Memorial merchandise are available for purchase as well. Help Mike along in his journey- whether it is to see him off or offer a meal or a safe place to crash/tent camp. Spread the word this is happening in support!
