Second Wind Fund, Inc. teams up with DLXF Skateboards
Second Wind Fund received a call from Jeremy "Zig" Ziegler. Zig, who works with DLXF Skateboards had just experienced an attempted suicide by his younger brother and wanted to do something...anything to help young people who have these thoughts. (see his story below)
Zig created a cool skateboard with a very powerful message and Second Wind Fund will recieve a portion of the proceeds for every deck sold.

“When I had the idea for the board I meant for it to be a way for me to release my anger, sadness, confusion all wrapped up and sent out in a message.
A message to stop this from happening to anyone else’s family!! So no one goes thru what I go thru everyday.
I think about him everyday and what the world would be like without him. I can’t imagine.
That is why the board had to be made. So far I have had an overwhelming response!
So many people have a story why they want to buy the board. People who have lost loved ones and friends… It is sad.
If you ever want me to come out and talk to any of the teens or any group I would do it in a heartbeat. Fly any where you need me.
Tell my story and let them know if you follow your dreams anything is possible. Look at me.
I used to get told “where is skateboarding ever going to take you???” Well I work for the best company in the world…
And I just made a board that could change people’s lives… That is what it has done for me.
Good stuff-“ -JZ
