Sunrise Rescue 911

Sunrise Rescue 911

Sunrise photos are on the way but first a story of teamwork, love and resilience.

The sunrisers are a group of people who come for the sunrise. We are a group of walkers, joggers, trash picker-upers, photographers, cyclists, meditators, lifeguards and of course the wildlife.

We look out for each other and often come together as an amazing team to assist each other and the wildlife.

Although we were once strangers, we are now are family.

Today, one of the sunrisers saw an injured turtle, called 911 who contacted the local lifeguards to send help. The turtle was still alive but was definitely in need of medical attention. With all the barnacles, this turtle is most definitely resilient.

Another sunriser ran to find me so I could call the turtle people. When I arrived, a sunrise couple and another woman were keeping watch over the turtle, ensuring the birds and ocean water didn’t cause more stress.

The lifeguards came and gave the turtle a lift to the station where the turtle expert would meet them and give it a lift to the hospital.

I call people doing positive acts of kindness, Shineadoors. They shine the light and make the planet a brighter place. Today was a heart expanding day of love watching so many Shineadoors come together.

Speedy recovery sweet turtle!
