I’d like you to consider how is a wave
born right I’m gonna give you some
surfer lingo to illustrate this so
you’re laying on the beach on a blanket
right you’re looking up at the sky and
you go whoa there’s like this giant ball
of fire our Sun and its radiating heat
down on to the earth and then that
creates wind events which might be a
hurricane and that sends out energy
swells for thousands of miles across the
ocean today my talk has a similar story
my daughter Piper was born on October
5th 2007 and I’ll never forget the first
time I looked into those beautiful
little blue eyes and I made a promise to
myself that day that I would do anything
and everything that I could to protect
her and keep her healthy as long as I
lived I never thought it would be a
question of how long she lived but the
time Piper was 4 years old
she was struggling she’d been in and out
of the doctors on multiple rounds of
antibiotics and I can remember lying
awake in the room next to hers at night
tormented by the sound of this deep
heavy wet cough that she had at her next
doctor’s appointment it was at that time
that they did a chest x-ray which
revealed she had pneumonia this not
being common for a four-year-old girl
they suggested that she be tested for
cystic fibrosis now I had no idea what
cystic fibrosis was and many of you may
not but at that time I kind of thought
well this is a preliminary measure and I
blew it off a couple weeks later I was
on my way to work when I got the call it
was Piper’s mom and she was on the phone
in tears and she said Piper’s tested
positive for cystic fibrosis
and I got off the phone and I pulled
over on the side of the road and I hung
my head and I was stunned and I was
shocked and that quickly turned into
anger and rage and I pounded the
steering wheel and I thrashed around
inside the car and mindlessly until I
was just exhausted in tears I drove to
work I parked I went in directly to the
restroom and I looked myself in the
mirror to try to clean myself up
and what I was looking at was not me it
was a totally different human being and
as I walked out of the bathroom
the first co-worker that I saw was a
good friend of mine named Lottie and
when she looked at me she said Travis
what’s wrong and it was at that moment
that for the first time in my life I was
so saddened and so heartbroken and
devastated I just couldn’t speak and she
hugged me and I cried in her arms the
following days and weeks and months were
a rollercoaster of emotions wondering
and worrying what Piper’s future had in
store now I drove into the research and
I learned a lot I learned that cystic
fibrosis is a genetic disease which
means that her mom and I gave this to
her which is incredibly difficult to
accept I would ask you how many of you
know if you’re a carrier for a CF gene I
had no idea her mom had no idea at the
time we didn’t know that we had this in
our family
there’s over 1,600 very variations of
cystic fibrosis genes the next thing I
learned was that cystic fibrosis
patients have to do hours of therapies
every week hundreds of take hundreds of
pills every day just to sustain their
health
I learned that cystic fibrosis basically
is an over
reduction of mucus inside the body and
it affects the digestive system and the
respiratory system and like oil in a car
mucus in your body helps it function and
run properly but when you have an
abundance of it especially in the lungs
it creates a wet sticky moist
environment that if a bad bacteria goes
in it can Harbor and create all kinds of
complications
I learned that families with patients of
cystic fibrosis have to endure extreme
financial burden at times when there’s
long hospitalizations transplants or
worst case death and burial expenses I
learned about the emotional toll that
cystic fibrosis takes on the families I
learned about a father who had a 24 year
old daughter in college and she had been
battling CF her whole life and the
disease had her so weak and so fragile
in the decades of antibiotics and
steroids had beat her down so much that
he could barely pick her up out of bed
without breaking a bone and worst of all
I learned that cystic fibrosis is a
degenerative progressive terminal
disease and that one day it could take
the life of my little girl now a
thousand thoughts can run through your
mind when your child has been diagnosed
with a terminal disease one of the
questions I had that was really
important to me having grown up being an
athlete and being in sports was well
beyond the doctor’s orders beyond the
therapies what could Piper do as an
activity that would really help her the
most was it soccer was it swimming what
was it well at her first appointment
with her CF team it was when the
respiratory therapist walked in the room
really sweet girl and we asked that
question and she said something
absolutely remarkable in the 1990s there
were CF patients in Australia that had
been reporting back to their doctor with
outstanding results their respiratory
function Hyatt was hired there
infection rate was lower and the doctors
were asking him well what are you doing
different and it was at that time they
said well you know we’re like down at
the beach we’re surfing every day the
light bulb went off and those doctors
and that team put years and millions of
dollars into research to determine that
breathing salt water through a nebulizer
or surfing had a significant improvement
in lung function and the most
significant thing of all is that it
reduced lung exacerbations and
infections by 56 percent not 10% not 20%
over 50% I’ll give you the rundown on
how somebody would see if their life
works right so they’re diagnosed they
get an infection that leads to
inflammation inflammation leads to lung
function decrease which leads to
transplant an ultimately death that’s it
that’s their path so if you can prevent
an infection that’s amazing right so
when they breathe saltwater it goes in
the sodium chloride table salt breaks
down the sticky mucus in their lungs
hydrates their lungs and helps provide
airway clearance this for parents who
are going through a time of tremendous
sadness and grief when you’re looking
for any sliver of hope in the despair
this is a miracle
right a natural therapeutic way for
Piper to heal in the surf okay great
well what does that mean well we live in
Florida fantastic lots of beaches great
but go out and try to hire a surf coach
this isn’t t-ball it’s not soccer okay I
didn’t know how to surf at the time so
what was the next best option
let’s put Piper on a paddle board and
get out there and try to find a way to
access that environment right it’s
bigger it’s wider it’s more stable it’s
fun it’s nice to be out there in that
environment and it was around this time
that I was meeting more people in the CF
community families patients
and two things dawned on me had two
realizations one all right if somebody
tells you that your child has been given
this diagnosis and that the salt
environment is the best for them if
you’re in Kansas drop your stuff and
move right get somewhere where you can
get her out there
well I’d realize there was no paved path
there was no way for people with cystic
fibrosis to access this salt environment
that’s so beneficial to them on a
regular basis right not just a one-day
surf camp but like their whole life this
should be built into they need a passion
for the ocean this is what heals them
this is what gives them life expectancy
that goes beyond what Piper is now at
which is her life expectancy with her
aggressive form is late 20s to late 30s
well we all know that it’s not about the
time you have Bob Marley was 37 years
old when he passed from this planet but
his message and his music touched the
world right and at the same time I was
meeting a lot of CF families and the
second thing I realized was some not all
but some families are insecure about
this disease and rightfully so who wants
to talk about their child having a
terminal disease it’s hurtful you have
to be vulnerable it’s sad it’s
heartbreaking sometimes I can’t even
talk about it without just falling apart
but the thing that occurred to me was
wait whoa Piper I don’t want Piper to
grow up in a world where she feels
insecure you know as a parent when you
see these kids you know if the parents
have fear it reflects onto the child I
don’t I wanted Piper to define her life
with this disease not let this disease
define her life so that got me going
right it got me thinking like well what
can I do how can we put the power back
in Piper’s hands what can I do to teach
her that she needs to be bold in the
face of fear she can’t let fear be her
operating system in life she needs love
in every moment in every day with
everybody because there’s a sense of
urgency here right
so then an idea came to me I’d been
looking at some different magazines and
paddleboarding and I saw all these guys
out in Hawaii doing these long-distance
crossings and I thought huh that’s cool
right and so this ties in the ocean
well maybe since we’re here in Florida
maybe we could paddleboard from the
Bahamas back to Florida and this would
be like a big bold way right to show off
this amazing connection to the ocean in
the salt environment the healing
benefits for people with CF but it also
give Piper something that for me as a
dad just trying to do everything
possible every day to give her the best
life hey you know if I get struck by
lightning next year and I’m gone from
this planet
what can I leave behind that shows Piper
don’t be afraid to be who you are and
put this out there help people with it
and so that’s what we did our goal was
to paddle 90 miles from Bimini back to
West Palm Beach we left we headed over
to Bimini with a projection of roughly
18 to 20 hours to paddle back it was
myself and three other paddle boarders
and we had a support team of two boats
and crew and my dad who’s here today
which is awesome and so everything was
going perfect right up until we left
right at this photo when we shoved off
the beach this is right behind Bimini
so Bimini is sheltering kind of the
ocean behind it right in the Gulf Stream
coming up well a southeast low-pressure
system like a mini storm a wind event
right moved in and it caused rougher
seas so this is about ten miles offshore
this is a tower pre dark paddle because
we had to paddle overnight to make it to
West Palm the next day so as we’re
sitting down on the boards and we’re
contemplating all this going Wow you
know 25 mile an hour winds is tough an
amazing thing happened the boats are
sitting there and one of the captains
yells Finn Finn Finn and we’re all like
yeah you know it’s like kind of
unnerving being in the ocean and you
know you’re expecting to see
like a 15-foot hammerhead or I don’t
know tiger shark instead it was a pot of
dolphins whoo right yeah we this is fun
they’re like playing between us and
around us and then all of a sudden the
most incredible thing happened one of
them right between us just rises up out
of the ocean straight up and down looks
around at us and then says what the hell
are you guys doing out here
not what it said but it’s what it was
thinking and then it went back down and
we all were blown away of course the
camera guy in the boat was changing his
batteries so we missed it but we’ll all
remember it forever so we paddled and we
paddled and we paddled and as we got out
there the ocean went from 3 to 4
manageable 4 to 6 whoo boy 6 to 8 foot
swells in the middle of the Gulf Stream
and so here we are paddling at night
we’re falling off the boards we’re
becoming hypothermic from leading body
heat shivering our crew on the boats
were seasick
we had vertigo from the bubble of light
from behind the boats and here we are
it’s 3 a.m. in the pitch-black of the
Gulf Stream under a blanket of a billion
stars in the Milky Way and I’m down on
my knees paddling right and I’m thinking
oh damn that dolphin was right what are
we doing out here what did I get these
people into and it was at that moment
that one of our paddlers yelled
lighthouse all right I grew up in
Florida I’ve been around beaches and
lighthouses my whole life I had no idea
what a lighthouse is a beacon of hope
meant until that moment all right
because we saw that beam go who will
cross the horizon it was like hallelujah
right like we’re gonna make it and we
did the next morning the Sun rose up and
we kept paddling and we kept paddling
and eventually we made it right in the
palm beach and lit to a celebratory
crowd of friends and family and it was a
big success right we raised $15,000 we
had a ton of media coverage and one
thing that was interesting was that the
media
this name Piper’s Angels right for our
paddlers in our crew now I have to ask
you a real question here who is the real
angel pipers all of this came together
because of her last year Piper was in
the hospital for two months once for two
weeks in the spring and six weeks over
the summer she went into the hospital an
eight-year-old girl with a pretty normal
lifestyle she came out of the hospital
with a permanent feeding tube a
long-term IV that goes directly into her
heart and an 18-month protocol for
antibiotics and steroids to try to knock
back a bacteria that’s colonized in her
lungs so the fight must continue and
today I’m very proud to say that the
crossing for a cure has over 30
registered paddleboarders we’re on our
way to $50,000 in fundraising and in
June we’re gonna paddle again we’ve
created the Pipers angels foundation to
help empower people in the CF community
but more so to develop the world’s
largest ocean based activities program
for sea efforts to participate in salt
water activities thus giving them a
chance to extend their life and guess
what we have a cure all right we’re on
the path to it I fully believe that I
have absolute faith but we need to give
every one of those sea effers an
opportunity to see that day so if you
can prevent one infection and extend
their life just a little bit you might
get it just out there far enough that
they see the day that cure comes there’s
Piper surfing her first wave in Costa
Rica at a surf camp now we started today
in this talk by talking about in me
asking you how is the wave born ray you
got these like big ball of iron this guy
heats up the earth generates a wind
event it sends out a swell thousands of
miles across the ocean and then there
you are sitting in the lineup patiently
watching and waiting and here here comes
right and as it gets to the beach it
rises up into one of the most beautiful
natural for me
mother nature has to offer you can see
that guy in the background what is he
doing he just paddle paddled dropped
into the shoulder that wave and turned
to go down the line and what is he doing
he’s riding that wave but what is he
really doing he’s connecting with that
energy that started out there and it
came all the way to that Beach and he’s
riding the triumphant finale of the life
of that wave before it hits the beach
and disperses right Piper is my son she
is my star she is my source of energy of
power of inspiration the lesson to be
learned here is that as humans we are
all just a reflection of what’s within
and after years after Piper’s diagnosis
and going through all this producing
this crossing for a cure paddling across
the ocean creating the Pipers angels
foundation what I learned is really
valuable in how you cope which is that
no matter what wind event storm or ocean
conditions is happening in your life
weather no matter what the adversity is
or what you’re facing which could be a
great loss or a devastating diagnosis
the key is that you have to take that
energy source that power that event and
you have to transform it on all that
pain and suffering transform it into the
ride of a lifetime because you only get
one shot here you have to be bold in the
face of fear because if you are you
don’t need a cure to find healing by
being bold you don’t need a cure to heal
thank you guys very much
you
born right I’m gonna give you some
surfer lingo to illustrate this so
you’re laying on the beach on a blanket
right you’re looking up at the sky and
you go whoa there’s like this giant ball
of fire our Sun and its radiating heat
down on to the earth and then that
creates wind events which might be a
hurricane and that sends out energy
swells for thousands of miles across the
ocean today my talk has a similar story

he’s riding that wave but what is he
really doing he’s connecting with that
energy that started out there and it
came all the way to that Beach and he’s
riding the triumphant finale of the life
of that wave before it hits the beach
and disperses right Piper is my son she
is my star she is my source of energy of
power of inspiration the lesson to be
learned here is that as humans we are
all just a reflection of what’s within
and after years after Piper’s diagnosis
and going through all this producing
this crossing for a cure paddling across
the ocean creating the Pipers angels
foundation what I learned is really
valuable in how you cope which is that
no matter what wind event storm or ocean
conditions is happening in your life
weather no matter what the adversity is
or what you’re facing which could be a
great loss or a devastating diagnosis
the key is that you have to take that
energy source that power that event and
you have to transform it on all that
pain and suffering transform it into the
ride of a lifetime because you only get
one shot here you have to be bold in the
face of fear because if you are you
don’t need a cure to find healing by
being bold you don’t need a cure to heal
