Happy Saturday Everyone!
Thank
you for taking time out of your day to tune in! Access....a powerful
and palpable word for millions of our neighbors, friends, and fellows
who on a daily basis come to situations where differences a simple
adjustment in the way WE think about inclusion would allow for them to
be involved in tasks we take for granted everyday..and as a
result....better quality of lives, health and wellness result. Today's
guests are just such thinks...who include everyone and who do so in
seeking ways to make sure that in sports and recreation in particular,
everyone can have access and as a result...it is not just about
play..which is important..it is about transforming some pretty
staggering statistics about health for people and creating solutions for
better lives.
…It is my honor today to introduce you to…
Dr.
Dan Johnson, Associate Professor in the College of Health and Applied
Human Sciences at UNCW and the founder of ACCESS/ the Miracle League of
Wilmington
Dr.
Candy Ashton Forrester, Chair for the City of Wilmington's Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board, and founder of Accessible Recreation Day as
well as a Professor UNCW
and
Ms. Sarah Gilbert, Assistant Director of Campus Recreation Adventures Programs at the UNCW
How do the two work together?
How are the two different?
What myths would you like to dispel about what you do?
What would be the best resource for families? Individuals?

I SPY:
It
was David and Trey Doolittle out for a ride..Father and Son...on a
beautiful day on river road and tragically they were hit by a drunk
driver. It was devastating. It was horrific. I will never forget it for
many reasons..but at the time I was just starting to change my own life
and was riding my bike and learning what a joy that was..and I was on
the cusp of learning to run for the first time too. I hear about a
"ride" for the doolittle's....a fundraiser...and I felt compelled to go.
I went and there was this lanky guy in lycra bike gear with a bull horn
and a truck that was clearly the leader of it all. His passion and his
concern brought out thousands for this ride...and you could see the
power of this on face of the widow..the mother who had lost her son.
After that..I kept seeing this man and watching his coaching business
develop and see the extraordinary things he was doing. He named his
company "without limits" and while I know i have limitations, I got his
branding and saw him transforming lives with his coaching...people from
16 to 70...and he encouraged me on my runs as well. Yesterday, he was in
the corner of the big tent for the Quintiles Marathon..yep..he is the
organizer and brings in over 3000 participants and a crowd 5 times
that....and makes a difference economically and on our area that is
amazing..and there he was..just in the corner watching it all happen.
This week I spy Tom Clifford of Without Limits Coaching. A man who makes
a difference by harnessing his passion and makes it worth while for
others..transforms lives, gives back, and makes a difference. His
contributions are "without limits".
Affirmation and sign off:
HAVE A NICE DAY, UNLESS YOU HAVE MADE OTHER PLANS!
