I am once again trying to raise money for a cause that I truly believe in, Maine Adaptive Sports and Recreation (MASR).  

This is the 36th year of the Maine Adaptive (www.maineadaptive.org) Skiathon and this is the 36th year that Team NDS and I have participated, donated, and raised money for this cause.  In addition, as you some of you may know I have actively served as the Board of Directors President (I have also served as BOD Vice President)  and I continue to be actively involved within the Adaptive community here in New England.  The funds donated by sponsors like yourself serve to keep the programming absolutely free to the participants.  

This year Maine Adaptive's programming has been amazing and we have already hosted three significant events; Veterans No Boundaries, and the New England Visually Impaired (NEVI) Festival as well as the Mono Skiing camp at both Sunday River and Saddleback   We will also be hosting Camp Snow Limits at Sunday River along with hundreds of free lessons to our participants as part of our regular programming.  Our host mountains Sunday River, Sugarloaf and now Pleasant Mountain (fka Shawnee Peak) have done a great job in providing quality snow conditions so far this year especially when mother nature has been less than cooperative.  We have also done free Nordic ski programs at Pineland Farms.  Maine Adaptive continues to be recognized as a leader in disabled sports and adaptive sports programming (www.maineadaptive.org) and we have had participants come from all of the New England states this year, as well as other parts of the US.  What makes Maine Adaptive unique is that the program is completely free.  Maine Adaptive does not receive any government grants or program fees -- only private donations.  Our most important fundraising event is the annual Skiathon, which raises over 40% of Maine Adaptive's annual budget.  Please consider making a donation!  Ski ya later

Join us for the 36th Annual Sunday River Ski-A-Thon!
