Our Mission

On May 12, 2012 Austin Brashears finished what is one of the most epic stories of all time: his life story. He lived colorfully and beautifully during his 21 years and painted pictures all over the world of his kindness, generosity, and positive spirit. We have decided to begin the stage of moving forward to embark on a grand adventure to create new memories with Austin every day. It can be something as little as trying a new flavor of coffee or going underwater go-cart racing in his honor. We invite you to play with us, laugh with us, and take risks with us. We encourage you to put your Austin foot forward and begin to live with Austin and his energetic spirit as your guide.

He needs our help to finish his epic adventure.

We’ll be posting our adventures here for you to read and hopefully be inspired by, but we want to hear from you too! When you do something amazing and incredible or just a little something you know that Austin would LOVE or appreciate, throw on your Austin merch (v-neck, tank, or bracelet) and take a picture! Write up a post and email it to us at doitforaustin@gmail.com and we’ll share it with everyone!

Have a great Austin Adventure Day,

Sage, Brittany, Cole, & Shannon

Exploring Marmaris





After studying abroad in Turkey for the semester, I am also staying here for the summer. I joined some friends in a town on the Mediterranean coast called Marmaris last weekend. 





We rented motor scooters to get out of town and see all the small villages along a beautiful peninsula. I had never driven a scooter before so it took a while to get used to but once we were on the open road I felt more comfortable. It was very warm but the ocean air kept us cool as we zoomed along the hillsides. Being on the scooter allowed us to connect to the elements around us and embrace the scenery. We stopped in almost every village to explore and talk with locals, and we even got to go swimming in a waterfall! 




This kind of adventure is just what you are always on the hunt for, Austin. I definitely could sense a bit of you in the ocean air that day. I'll miss you always, bud.


Till my next adventure,
        Ethan
