Thank you for checking in on the Dream Adaptive Recreation fund raising event for 2021. This program has supported my 11 year old daughter Kate in summer and winter activities for the last five years, providing a safe and empowering environment for Kate to explore her potential. The mission of Dream Adaptive Recreation is to enhance the quality of life of individuals with disabilities by providing year round outdoor adaptive recreational opportunities.

The people at Dream Adaptive have helped Kate establish a positive self image by challenging her to push the boundaries of her physical ability in a loving and supportive environment year round. The program has made a lasting positive impact on our entire family, helping to guide our path forward, creating a network of peers for Kate and mentors for Barb and I.

The goal is ambitious: I am looking for 100 people to pledge $50 each in support of Dream Adaptive

What I am doing in return: I will be hiking / skiing on the 27th with a goal of climbing 10,000 vertical feet, starting at 6am until 4pm. I estimate that it will take around 6 hours non-stop to reach that goal...then I'm headed to Steve Shea's house for a beer.

Barb and I are grateful for your support of this organization and the foundational work they do in our community, please help me make a small dent in the operational costs for this fantastic community organization.
