And that’s a wrap! Our first ever Adaptive Skateboard collaboration with Talent Skatepark. 5 athletes, 5 sessions, and 10+ skoaches/volunteers. So much progress in just a few weeks. Aidan could be heard repeating: “I can do hard things.” Aven learned that safe falling means some big learning is going on. Jordyn is learning to use her great navigating skills to move safely around others. Alex is getting comfortable on ramps. And another friend is teaching all the adults how to safely adapt skateboarding rigs to care for their body while a wide smile tells everyone how much they love the movement. All agreed that it was a very successful first go. Next up: building a rolling frame to give access to our athletes who need more bodily support. Stay tuned for details about our next session, likely to launch in January!

Our ski programs don’t start until the New Year, but it looks like Tristan, one of the Special Olympics athletes that GMAS sponsors out of Smugglers' Notch Resort is more than ready for the mountain to open!

We were so close to reaching our goal this year at the Heady Trotter at the Alchemist, and that’s something to CELEBRATE! We raised $18,177 out of our $20K goal, and even though we just missed the full match, your contributions added up to something truly POWERFUL. The outpouring of generosity from our community shows just how much we can accomplish together. Thank you for standing with us and helping drive this important work forward. It’s never too late to add a little donation if you can… We wish to thank all of the volunteers, The Alchemist, Heady Trotter Four Miler, Vermont Farmstead Cheese Co. who donated 100% of the proceeds from the sale of grilled cheese sandwiches, everyone who participated, cheered, and donated, and of course, our friends at The Vermont Community Foundation. We are grateful and happy, and can’t wait to be part of this amazing event again next year!
