For Love of Water.

We gather. We paddle. We remember. We give.

F.L.O.W. SSI returns for its 4th year—bringing our community together on the water for something that matters. A 5-mile paddle from Gould’s Inlet to Village Creek Landing, in support of swim lessons and water safety programs across the Golden Isles.

This day holds both joy and meaning.
We move together. We honor lives lost. We invest in lives protected.

Registration is now live.
Join us.

Grateful to see our local community come together this afternoon for Water Safety Awareness at Mary Ross Waterfront Park.

Thoughtful leadership, hands-on education, and a shared commitment to caring for our coast—these moments matter.

It was a pleasure to see City Manager Regina McDuffie and meet her assistant, Mary Wray, on site, alongside Father Alan Akridge and FLOW SSI board members supporting this important work.

A reminder that connection—to place, to people, to purpose—happens in simple, meaningful ways.

PADDLE FROM MARATHON TO KEY WEST?

Dear Friends and family:

Our group of 11th grade young men (and their adult mentors) from St. Simons Island, GA have been meeting weekly since the 6th grade for Bible Study, Fellowship, and Fun. Each year, we try to do something a little bigger and more challenging to celebrate growing up and growing in our faith. This year, we wanted to do something really special for our last summer together. Something that would also make a serious difference in our community.
Since two of the awesome moms connected with our team are thriving survivors of breast cancer (and more are indirectly connected!), we wanted to sho our appreciation and support for them and for every woman battling breast cancer.
And so on May 31, 2026 our young men's group (707 Stand Up) will join our adult mentors and some amazing support and gear helpers, and begin standup paddling 60 miles from Marathon Florida to Key West over a 4 day period.
Because of our parents, jobs, and sponsors, all of the logistical costs for this fundraiser are 100% covered so that your tax deductible donation here goes exclusively to the American Cancer Society.
We would love your support as fundraising vision comes to life. Over 300,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and we want that number to be ZERO.
Even if a donation isn't possible for you, would you consider praying for us between May 29 and June 4th? God Bless YOU!
In Christ, we are,
Fr. Alan+, Carter (the old mentors), James, Marshall, Spencer, Trey, Reid, Jack, Charlie, Wilson, and, we hope, Herndon!

Our guys are considering an epic paddle adventure from Marathon to Key West at the end of the school year to raise $ for Breast Cancer. Here's a blast from 2017 when Harrison and I went from Key Largo to Key West for Cystic Fibrosis.
