Here at The Valley of Achor, we know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. Since our founding in 2021, we have been determined to make an impact. The core of our efforts is to bring the discussion of suicide awareness and mental health to young people using the platform of fishing. With thousands of teenager involved in competitive fishing around the country, we feel it is important to have these discussions after losing our      16-year-old son to suicide in January 2021. It is important for them to know there is always hope and there is always someone who will listen even in their darkest moments. In addition to bringing awareness and getting people talking about this difficult topic, our goal is to present a graduating high schooler with a scholarship in our sons name each year if he or she is going to continue competitive fishing in college. Through all of our endeavors we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs.
