Dream Adapative is an amazing organization, full of hard-working folks who commit time and energy to making outdoor recreation accessible for all, and making more smiles in the world. Dream has been an important part of my winter, and now it's time to give back. Please help me by supporting my absurd goal of walking uphill until they kick me off the slopes, while raising funds for Dream. On Saturday, March 27, I'm participating in the Dream Shred-a-thon, with a goal of skinning 5 laps up the mountain, walking on my own 2 skis, before 4pm. A lap is 2,200 vertical feet, so can you help by kicking in $22? Or $44? Or, maybe challenge me to hit a certain number of laps? 5 is a lofty goal... But goals are meant to be lofty, and hard, and most of all fun. Just ask the amazing folks I've spent this winter working with, learning with, and learning from through the Dream programs. 

I'd be honored if you'd help me reach my goal. I'll also be accepting any and all offers of moral support, high-fives, pacers, yips, and cookies. I'm going to need them all.

DREAM Adaptive Recreation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities by providing year-round outdoor recreational opportunities.  DREAM is based in Whitefish, MT, and has been serving the community and beyond for over 35 years!  More than 1,250 lessons and opportunities are provided each year.

SHRED THE LOVE on March 27th! 

The Shred-A-Thon raises critical funds to support the mission of DREAM Adaptive Recreation.  Donations support initiatives such as:  purchasing and maintaining adaptive sports equipment, volunteer instructor training, and providing subsidized rates and financial aid scholarships to ensure everyone has access to our programming.
