Hello everyone, my name is Max Voci-Machado! I am thrilled to announce that I will be participating in a fundraising event to support the Ben Carlson Foundation. As an ocean lifeguard myself, I have had the privilege of working countless hours on the beach, and Ben’s story deeply resonated with me. It not only provided me a better understanding of the dangers inherent in the job but also motivated us lifeguards to work harder, train more diligently, and remain prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. In honor of Ben, this endeavor is far beyond my comfort zone, but I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to join a wonderful community and raise funds for such a great cause. Every contribution no matter how small, will help us support the dream!
