Hi all.

Dream Adaptive is doing a Shred-A-Thon fundraiser in which I am participating in.  On March 27, I will be attempting to ski more vertical feet than the other participants to raise money for adaptive activities, equipment and training.

Even before moving to Montana I became involved with Dream Adaptive while attending their annual Snowcat Powder Camp.  This camp definately pushed me to my limits but I came out of it a stronger person, a way better skiier and gained a bunch of friends in the process.  This past year I have attended a number of summer programs including water-skiing and kayak/sup at Glacier National Park. 

This winter was my 1st season as a volunteer ski instructor for Dream Adaptive.  My goal is to teach as many adaptive people as I can to ski. Just as I was taught by an adaptive organization. Skiing has given me freedom, in fact it's easier for me to ski than walk.  Dream Adaptive makes summer and winter dreams available to anyone with a disability.  After being part of many adaptive organizations, I feel Dream does a fantastic job in being financially responsible and making summer and winter activities possible for anyone looking to have fun no matter if they can afford it or not. 

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.  Please consider donating to the fantastic organization.

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!
