Doug Pringle's Fundraiser
Join me in supporting this cause and provide life-changing experiences.
Let's do this again rabble!!
Achieve Tahoe is a nonprofit that builds health, confidence and independence through sports for people with disabilities. The organization serves over 500 people a year through one-on-one snowsports lessons, waterskiing, paddle sports and more.
In the picture above I am teaching a soldier disabled in Afghanistan. I am grateful for your support of my life's work over the years. Please join me in supporting the Ability Challenge again this year.
By now most of you know that learning to ski on one leg changed my life after losing my leg in Vietnam. You know, too, that the experience was so meaningful that creating a successful and pioneering non-profit and spreading it across the nation became my life's work. Participation in challenging, vigorous sports has proven to be a powerful catalyst in the development of a positive self-image and an achieving attitude. These attributes are essential to success for anyone and they are critical for someone with a disability.
Fifty two years since it's founding by 10th Mountain Division Veterans, I'm proud that Achieve Tahoe (formerly Disabled Sports USA Far West) continues as a lead agency to provide sports as part of the rehabilitation and community reintegration of wounded warriors disabled in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have created winter and summer sports camps nationwide. I am asking you to support our military camps in Lake Tahoe through our annual campaign, The Ability Challenge.
