Leif Becker will break a new world record and channel that inspiration to help children break individual barriers. In addition to a world record for boards being broken, he strives to set a new record for the number of initiatives and organizations involved in one event. The Breaking Barriers event will culminate in New York City, where Leif will attempt to break a world-record shattering 100,000 boards in 24 hours. Our vision is to have each of the 100,000 boards sponsored on behalf of a child facing a barrier that limits his or her true potential.
