Through the help of SteveA on this forum, I got connected with an organization called Northeast Passage, a nonprofit specializing in adaptive sports. By connecting with this organization, we were able to help a dear friend's 17 year old daughter who sustained a tragic spinal cord injury while sledding last winter and who is now a paraplegic. With the help of this organization, she learned to use a sit-ski for waterskiing. I was able to pull her around the lake and see the sense of accomplishment she felt and the fun she had. Her positive attitude was an inspiration to my entire family and I suspect that this was the first of many new activities she will master. Definitely the highlight of my summer!
