HAYDEN KENNEDY 5POINT AWARD This is the film that embodies the 5Points more than any other films:

PURPOSE To muster the motivation and conviction necessary to pursue our highest aspirations in the face of adversity.

RESPECT For each other, for the environment, for the experience and for the knowledge we inherit from those who inspire and teach us.

COMMITMENT To overcome fear and give ourselves completely to the challenge at hand while leading a vital existence and never allowing ourselves to become complacent.

HUMILITY To assume the courage and the discipline to listen to our intuition and not our egos, always mindful of our place in the natural order.

BALANCE To maintain our focus and energy in life, in nature, and on the journeys we undertake while things we cannot control shift around us.
