I’ve been participating in adaptive recreation programs since I was five years old, and I can say without hesitation that access to programs like BORP changed the trajectory of my life.

Through activities like wheelchair baskeball and adaptive climbing I've gained physical fitness. But much more importantly- these programs provided a community that included and empowered me, changed my family and my own perception of what I'm capable of, and allowed me to feel comfortable and confident in my skin as a woman with a disability.

I've been at BORP for nearly two years now, and I feel stronger than ever that even amongst its peer organizations, BORP is in a league of its own. I feel so fortunate to be part of a team that centers disability representation, community, and physical and financial access to its programs.

It is a privilege to help lead BORP into its next chapter—growing our impact, expanding our reach, and making sure every person with a disability has access to community, connection, and the joy of movement.

Every dollar I raise supports BORP's incredible menu of programs (20+ weekly!). For nearly 50 years, BORP has ensured that finances are never a barrier to participation in our programs. We need your help to continue and build upon that legacy!
