Hello friends and family!
Update:
Unfortunately, for the second year in a row the VT 100 has been cancelled due to Covid-19. On the plus side, I'm still here and still running! With that in mind I decided to roll my fundraising efforts into my next event. On October 8th I will be toeing the line of the Moab 240 Endurance Run in Utah. This is a non-stop 240 mile foot race through desert, slick rock, canyons, mountain ranges and National Parks. I will be providing more info as the race gets closer, to include tracking information. Stay tuned and thanks for your support!
Competing in the VT 100 is a challenge that I look forward to meeting this summer. While I have spent hours, days, months and even years training for this event, it is something that I have been passionate about. There are people out there for whom just getting out to walk can be a challenge. People who need a little extra assistance to meet the challenge that brings health, fun and passion to their lives. Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports provides sports and recreational programs as well as wellness and environmental retreats to people with disabilities. Their programs are offered to people of all ages, with a variety of disabilities. Programs include skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and Nordic in the winter; and sailing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, cycling, rock climbing, horseback riding, and more in the warmer months.
Please consider donating what you can to help me reach my goal and help Vermont Adaptive meet their goal too!
Thank you!
