I wish I had some cool pics to go with this thread but since I do the majority of this myself it isn't always possible.
Lately I have been doing a series of grade school presentations. It started with my own son's school and has kind of taken off.
The idea is to setup a slideshow in the classroom, along with some of the gear we use/modify for the disabled.
Then we go outside and the kids can climb all over the FJC, play with the hand controls, see themselves on the video spotting system and see how the handicapped can overcome mobilty issue inorder to enjoy a full and adventurous life.
Granted this is local to Phoenix Arizona but someday it when we have established more disabled ambassadors around the country this could happen at a school near you.
If you live in the valley and know of a group that would benefit from a presentation please let me know. We do all of this free of charge, just like everything else we do.
Soon we plan to take these presentations to the special needs kids in the school system so that they can see adults with physical mobilty issues adapting, overcoming and exploring. And maybe a few parents of those kids will realize they can enjoy the backcountry also.
Just wanted to let ya'll know what we are up to and how your help is being used.
enjoy
