Ronald loved the ocean since young, and his love for the ocean amplified when he served in WWII as a Royal Navy. He has a daughter, Sarah, who also shares the same love for the waters. Upon retirement, Ronald and his daughter set out to dive the waters a lot together.

In one of the dives, they witnessed a seal almost choking on a chip wrapper. Seeing the underwater pollution grow exponentially, they had a noble dream together...

With the dark days of the war behind him and a new dream to work towards, life seemed to be good. Until one day, a drive to the coast for yet another diving trip took a turn for the worst. He was 72, a huge truck lost control and crashed into them on the highway. That accident hurt Ronald’s spinal cord so severely that he barely felt his legs and it took his only daughter’s life.

Losing Sarah reminded him once again of losing his family and friends during the war. On top of that, he also lost the mobility to do what he loves most: diving. All the grieves and losses sank him into a deep state of depression, but he made himself a promise…

“Diving was the one thing Sarah and I did most together after retirement. We aimed to do underwater cleanups around the world together. I must fulfill her last wish.” – Ronald

Multiple surgeries, physiotherapies, and medication… but none of them worked! He felt a lot of pain on his back whenever he tries to stand and walk, or just turning his body. At times, his back hurt so much he couldn't fall asleep.

One day, he received a call. His diving buddy met an Australian acupuncturist, Dr. Henry McKinley in his recent diving trip.

Dr. McKinley was touched by Ronald’s story about his daughter and their dream to save the ocean and had personally reached out to Ronald to offer medical assistance. After giving Ronald a thorough check, this is what he said:

“The back pains that you’re experiencing are actually NOT from your accident, they are the ordinary pains that come with age, affecting literally everyone around the world.”

“Think of your spine as the base of your favorite shoe, With every use, the base wears off slightly. The base to the shoe is just as important as your back to your body, movement, and everyday life. Hence, it wears and tears much quicker than any part of your body.”

Dr. McKinley believes he has found a solution to put an end to it. Being an acupuncturist for over 30 years now, he saw up to 42,000 cases of chronic back pains. And the number keeps going up as the age keeps lowering.

As the technology advances, our lives became much more convenient, we have everything at our fingertips: online shopping, food delivery, and all sorts of entertainment. People could just sit in front of their screens all day. Due to long hours of sitting and inactivity, even people as young as 25 years old suffer from back pain.

To combat that, Dr. McKinley used his acupunctural and acupressure knowledge and created a special mat that has around 8,000 pins to sleep on comfortably. They are placed strategically to stimulate the pressure points all around your back, improving blood flow by increasing the circulation throughout the entire body and releasing endorphins that naturally reduce aches and tension while promoting complete restoration throughout the body.

He sends the mat to Ronald few days later, and it was immediately put to use. Ronald lies on the mat 30 minutes a day, every day.

In just a few days, his back feels much better than it was before. Few weeks later, his legs gained strength, he started walking and swimming. He admitted that his insomnia had reduced significantly, he could sleep so much better after using it.

Both his diving buddy and Dr. McKinley were amazed by his recovery and gave him some MRI scans and body checkup just to be sure.

Immediately, he signed up to join the Divers Against Debris Program. He was the oldest diver among 632 others to dive into the waters and clean the ocean bed. Coming up from the dive, Ronald looked up to the sky and said,

“I did it, baby Sarah! Daddy did it. The very first underwater cleanup. I’m gonna do it until I die. You’re gonna be with me, alright?”

This scene got everyone on the boat in tears.

“When I’m diving, I think of Sarah and the other beloveds. I consider myself lucky to survive the war and the crash, but it’s my family and friends who didn’t come back that this sort of time reminds me of. I just wish I found this earlier, missing them would have been so much easier.”
