This week's challenge cards are heading to Anthony, a young man who was hit by a truck and is in for some very long recovery. You can read his story and see the inspiration teapot here:
Since Anthony can't get to the beach, we're taking the beach to Anthony. Hopefully, some relaxing sea waves and sunshine will help ease his mind until he's well enough to enjoy it in person.
