For those who know us, then you know Waylon but for those who don't, Waylon is a super cool, 11-year old Tahoe kid who lost his leg at 11 months. He wears an above the knee prosthesis.
Sports have never been fun for Waylon until he found Achieve Tahoe. They set him up on a single ski and outriggers and off he went! Waylon is on the slopes every day that he can be. He's quickly progressed and is now braving "black diamond" runs! Believe me, this kid is determined!
For Waylon, Achieve Tahoe has been a lifechanging program. Waylon wants to raise funds for Achieve Tahoe so that others can have the chance to experience this amazing program too.Please consider making a donation to his cause.
Thank you
Waylon's Mom
Based in North Lake Tahoe . . . . Achieve Tahoe leads the way in adaptive sports and recreation for people with disabilities. With over 50 years experience, our trained staff and volunteers guide you in discovering life without limits. Our specialized adaptive equipment and teaching methods allow us to accommodate almost ANYone with ANY disability.
Our Mission is to provide affordable inclusive physical and recreational activities that build health and confidence.
Brief History In 1967 Jim Winthers, a World War II Veteran of the 10th Mountain Division and Director of the Soda Springs Ski School, brought together a group of Vietnam Veterans to support each other as they learned to cope with their disabilities. These Veterans taught themselves and others how to ski. From there, our organization was born.
Achieve Tahoe has continued its rehabilitation orientation and remains dedicated to the belief that sports are a vital part of the process in which individuals with disabilities gain self-confidence, mobility, and greater independence. Our programs promote education, socialization and employment. They help turn tragedy into triumph by instilling in participants the knowledge that it's not their disabilities, but their abilities that count.
Family Orientation We encourage the whole family to participate in many of our programs and activities. This can strengthen family bonds while ending the isolation of individuals with disabilities by uniting families through recreational activities.
