It’s very liberating… for me it’s about being in situations and environments that you never thought were possible, you know, after your injury. I would have never thought being in a wheelchair I would be able to go out in a kayak on the Kentucky River, and paddle downstream…Team River Runner encompasses the ability to kayak for anybody no matter their disability… Especially when you’re in a kayak, everybody is just kind of on the same level, the same playing field. There have been times when I have come off the water and people kinda standing around and they had no idea that my wheelchair, that’s for me.
