The team is inspiring veterans to set new life goals, create a team, and chase their dreams.
Take Point Now is a call to action to all veterans to reclaim their extraordinary lives. The team is on a mission to shatter Guinness World Records on Personal Watercraft (PWC). Perhaps the most notable goal is to break the world record for crossing the Atlantic Ocean. The Take Point Now team wants their own epic adventures to motivate veterans, and their families, to pursue their own passions and fulfill their dreams. Military service is characterized by extraordinary experiences and training which can be paid forward by creating dog shelters, building playgrounds, running marathons on prosthetic limbs, climbing mountains, starting businesses, and much more.
The most common question asked of Take Point Now is “why jet skis?” Team leader PK Ewing has an easy answer due to the severe injuries he was left with after his deployment to Iraq. His life-changing new reality included a long list of things he could no longer do physically. What can PK do with relative ease? He can sit on a jet ski with little to no discomfort. And falling off of a ski induces laughter, not more injures. This realization is what started the wheels turning to get other veterans onto the water. Much more than glory is Take Point Now’s empowerment of wounded warriors through the development of specialized gear and adaptive controls for injured and disabled veterans to become part of the action on water. Water has peaceful and calming properties that can help alleviate PTSD issues. Veterans are also invigorated by being able to join friends and family in fun activities where their injuries can’t hold them back. Take Point Now’s program will help veterans reclaim their lives, instill a sense of pride in what they are capable of all while fostering a sense of camaraderie between veterans and their community.
Crowdfunding is sought for our world record endeavors and to continue reaching veterans and their families. Funding will be used for training missions, fuel, testing of adaptive gear, travel expenses, equipment acquisition and maintenance, and an advertising campaign to reach veterans and raise awareness of this first-of-its kind veterans program.
