What our voyagers say
about Valiant Voyages

I want to thank you again for arranging the Argia sailboat ride in Mystic a few weeks ago. Alexander and Nathaniel had a great time, and you are doing a really awesome thing by setting up Valiant Voyages. It was a beautiful day and a nice break for all of us. I hope you are able to continue helping other families and kids with cancer because it does make a difference!

You have no idea how much this meant to our family. In 2017 my son was diagnosed with autism and shortly after we discovered he was being abused/mistreated by the public preschool we had him enrolled. Then in 2018, while we were still battling with the school, our daughter Elia was diagnosed with leukemia at two years of age and a new hell began. She endured 2.5 years of intense treatment and rang the bell in 2020 just as the pandemic was beginning. Finally, out of our bubble, we were thrilled to have the kids experience the wonderful things the world offers. ...

I'm writing to express my gratitude for our Valiant Voyages sailing experience. Your kindness brought an unforgettable day of joy and adventure to our family, particularly to my son, Johnny, an 8-year-old brain cancer survivor.

The journey from Patriots Point, cruising along the beautiful coast and swimming near Fort Sumter, was a dream come true for Johnny. He was absolutely thrilled to jump off the boat, perform flips in the air, and swim around and under the Catamaran. The perfect sunny weather, accompanied by just the right amount of breeze, added to the magic of the day. Captain Matt was exceptionally kind and patient, teaching Johnny the intricacies of sailing. Johnny was over the moon to help pull in the sail and learn about the technology behind it. His newfound fascination with sailing has sparked a dream in him; he said he wants to be a sailor when he grows up!

Sharing this adventure with another wonderful family made the experience even more special. After so much time spent in hospitals, this day of fun and freedom at sea was a priceless gift. It provided a much-needed escape and a feeling of pure joy that we will cherish forever.

Thank you, Tim, for your thoughtfulness and generosity. The sailing trip was more than just a day on the water; it was hope and happiness for Johnny and our family. We will always remember this uplifting experience and the magical feeling it brought to our lives.
