“When people see they can do something that they didn’t know they could do, it opens them up to all sorts of possibilities,” he said. “It’s also just giving the feeling so many of us get from these activities. Everyone deserves to ski if they want to, feeling like they are flying on snow, or being out on the water enjoying the peacefulness of fishing. Where it’s possible, we want to make it happen.”

Amanda is driven. Her goals and relentless work ethic are a force to be reckoned with. Please help us by sharing your support for Amanda as she strives to fulfill her Paralympic dreams.
**We want to extend special appreciation to the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Travis Mills Foundation. They have made extraordinary commitments to support and care for disabled veterans and their families during their journey to recovery.

This program was funded in part by a grant from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
Life is an adventure — a bold and sometimes risky undertaking —
challenging each of us to confront and overcome self imposed limits of possibility.
TA programs provide the experiential lessons and progressions that prepare you
for success. Our individualized approach, care and attention to details sets us apart.
Helping one person at a time may not change the world,
but it could change the world for that one person.
