Linda and Kevin
“…our programs are built on the belief that everyone deserves the chance to experience the outdoors, regardless of mobility or circumstance. For Linda and Kevin, this hike was more than just a stroll in the park. It was a rare adventure, a unique shared experience, and a reminder of what we can achieve when we come together.”
