I Love to SKI FAST – Sochi Winter Paralympic Games Begin

Do you know how much I love to snow ski!?
I don’t let CP stop me! One of my favorite things to do is get out of my wheelchair and SKI FAST with my buddies from Ignite. I’m sad to say Sunday is my last ski trip of the season at Eldora Resort in Boulder, Colorado. Soon I will be off to other adventures like; adaptive water skiing, kayaking and rafting. Spring and summer is just around the corner.

If you like join me and check out the Sochi Paralympics 2014, see the schedule of events at this website.

Spread the Word to End the Word at Poudre High School

March 5th was the national day of “Spread the Word to End the Word”, a program that promotes respect to all individuals, especially those with disabilites. Nick’s friend Phoebe invited him to bring his audio visual presentation to her classmates at Poudre High School in Fort Collins, Colorado. Nick challenged all the students to pledge to stop using the word “retard” as a label for individuals who have intellectual disabilities and to share the new ‘R’ word RESPECT. To join Nick and make your pledge online go to: http://r-word.org/r-word-pledge.aspx
