Hello friends! This year I'm planning to take on running the Vermont 100 Endurance race for the third time! I failed in 2019 due to extreme heat, and managed to successfully finish this race in 2022. Not only that, but this year Chase the Summit has partnered up with the Vermont 100 as a sponsor which I am SUPER excited about! Our goal with this partnership is to raise as much money as possible for the Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports!
Finishing the Vermont 100 is a memory I'll cherish forever as it was a goal that was years in the making. However, even though I was lucky enough to finish this race 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. Vermont Adaptive offers financial support for anyone who needs it to participate.
