As the recipient, Hope for Carter will receive a $10,000 grant from the Sheckler Foundation.<\/p>\n Pro Skateboarder and Sheckler Foundation Founder, Ryan Sheckler says, \u201cThank you to all the supportive individuals who submitted entries, voted and rallied with us here at the Sheckler Foundation! I would like to congratulate Carter on becoming our 4th \u2018Be the Change\u2019 recipient!\u201d<\/p>\n Carter is a 12-year-old boy who suffers from a rare form of Eczema that has taken over his whole body and Asperger Syndrome; a type of autism.\u00a0 The skin disease has made everyday tasks like showers excruciatingly painful for Carter. Before the initiative, Carter had lost hope both because of his condition and relentless teasing and bullying by the\u00a0 kids at school. With the help of the Sheckler Foundation\u2019s \u201cBe the Change\u201d initiative and the skateboarding community rallying behind him, Carter has hope again.<\/p>\n During the voting process, Carter was so moved by Taylor\u2019s Journey with a Traumatic Brain Injury, he decided that if he won the $10,000 grant, he would split half of it with Taylor because she really needed the support as much as he did. When Taylor Pearcy\u2019s parents were told of Carter\u2019s gift to Taylor, they were awestruck. They too had decided to split the grant with Carter if they were to win. After hearing about Carter\u2019s good deed of paying half of the financial support he received forward, Ryan Sheckler said, \u201cWow! This is why we do what we do! This is amazing.\u201d Ryan then made the decision to personally write out a check to Carter to ensure he gets $10,000. Past \u201cBe the Change\u201d winners Peach\u2019s Neet Feet and The Ashley Wade Foundation have caught the bug to pay it forward and will also donate shoes and baskets for Carter and Taylor.<\/p>\n Director and CEO of the Sheckler Foundation, Gretchen Sheckler-Hachee says, \u201cThe Sheckler Foundation\u2019s goal through \u2018Be the Change\u2019 is to create awareness for all four finalists by using our global platform to share their stories. The voting and rallying is not for the sake of competition. It is intended to create a ground swell of support for each of our four finalists; showing what can happen when we activate our community to get involved with causes that matter. Creating awareness creates change!\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan Sheckler\u2019s \u201cBe the Change\u201d initiative was created to help injured action sports athletes and children in need. Since starting in 2008, the Sheckler Foundation has been paying it forward to help numerous individuals and causes. The past three \u201cBe the Change\u201d winners include: The Port Gamble S\u2019Klallam, Peach\u2019s Neet Feet and The Ashley Wade Foundation.
