On Saturday March 16th, 2024, I will be participating in the 7th annual OAS Ski for All!
Oregon Adaptive Sports is a premier adaptive sports organization, creating access to high-quality outdoor experiences for individuals with disabilities.
Every time we visited Mt. Bachelor prior to moving to Bend, I always loved seeing the orange OAS vests skiing down the mountain behind an adaptive athlete. As a neuro physical therapist who works to help people walk again or get back to their normal activities after a neurological event, I was excited to see a program that was helping to give access to all to get outside and knew I wanted to get involved.
I signed up to volunteer with OAS shortly after moving to Bend and am now in my 3rd season. Along with helping athletes to get back out on the ski mountain, they have an amazing mountain biking program that puts on camps to allow people from all over the country experience our great home in Bend.
Every dollar contributed will advance OAS' work in breaking down barriers to the outdoors for individuals with disabilities. This includes obtaining and maintaining state-of-the-art adaptive sports equipment, providing hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships, and training and retaining the world's greatest volunteers!
I believe in the importance of OAS' work and invite you to support my efforts in this year's Ski For All fundraiser.
Let's keep the OAS stoke going!
