Six Feet Above Veterans Retreat brings veterans together to skate along side Mark Appleyard, Tj Rogers, and Shawn Hale.
SIX FEET ABOVE RETREAT AT THE SANDLOT
Recently, The Sandlot had the opportunity to host and hang out with Six Feet Above for a fun-filled day of skateboarding.
Six Feet Above was founded and is operated by veterans that understand that feeling of connectedness to a group and that sense of being part of something bigger than yourself. Losing that feeling of being attached, close and thoroughly accepted by your people is something all too common with veterans after leaving the service.
The goal of Six Feet above is to provide veterans and service members a cost-free retreat/resource center focused around skateboarding and other positive therapies to help veterans and service members win their battles with mental illness, to include post-traumatic stress (PTS).
