In the last year, child abuse has been in the news on a daily basis. Behind the headlines, the damage and pain endure for a lifetime - and is inflicted on the next generation of kids. We're out to stop that cycle - to intervene, to educate and to empower - to give this generation of children a great start and a foundation for a fruitful and happy life.

Eliminating child abuse is not just a dream, it is a cause to follow every day. So for these two days, I and 11 friends will be following that cause from Huntington Beach to Coronado Island.
