Join us in supporting real change within a transformational organization. Achieve Tahoe is a group of outstanding individuals who have, in one season, shifted Teal's perspective on movement!!
On January 7th of this year, I found myself on a chairlift crying. I called my mom while I was dangling in the air and said, "She is skiing!!! She is really skiing." As I write this now tears are falling from my eyes.
Teal, as many of you know, isn't walking yet...BUT SHE IS SKIING!! And this is all thanks to Achieve.
We have worked with incredible instructors who meet Teal at her ability while challenging her in just the best way. They brainstorm new ways of enhancing her skills and are open to working with us and our philosophy.
The things she is learning at Achieve are dramatically impacting her life here at home. Teal's balance is far better due to her brain making connections in new ways while flying down the slopes. She is cruising the house and taking independent steps now. She stood without assistance and danced with me in our living room!!!!! What? Amazing!
Dancing...skiing...laughing...empowering!
Thank you, Achieve Tahoe!
We are honored to ask you for a small donation so more kids, and adults, can benefit from these life-changing programs!!
A bit about Achieve Tahoe:
Achieve Tahoe is a nonprofit that builds health, confidence and independence through recreational sports for children and adults with disabilities. The organization serves over 500 people a year through one-on-one snowsports lessons, waterskiing, paddle sports and more. Achieve Tahoe's highly trained instructors and specialized, adaptive equipment allow the organization to serve just about anyone with any disability. Achieve Tahoe participants and family members often say that their experience with Achieve Tahoe goes on to affect other areas of their life such as gaining confidence to try other sports, becoming more social, and breaking down perceived barriers showing them that they can do things they perhaps never thought they could before.
Here's another great testimonial about Tate's experience:
"We were introduced to Achieve Tahoe by our friend, Mike, five years ago when our daughter, Tate, was 10. Tate has Down syndrome and has skied with your program every season since....We feel so fortunate to have benefited from your fantastic organization. Last week Tate skied with her brothers, Dad and I for the first time without an instructor. While we were on the chairlift she exclaimed, 'I love this...it makes me feel so alive!' Needless to say I had tears running down my cheeks as I took a video of her skiing down [a blue ski run]. Tate loves skiing, has a true sense of pride in her ability and can now independently enjoy what I'm certain will be a lifelong sport. I can say with confidence that I don't think this would have been possible without Achieve Tahoe. Your organization, staff and volunteers have made a real difference in our lives." -Sarah W. 2019
