NubAbility Athletics Camp 2019


I’m home from NubAbility Camp! This year we had 170+ limb different campers with 60+ limb different coaches! It was such an honor to get to coach these wonderful kiddos again. We played lots of tennis and soccer, laughed a ton, and made so many memories. On the first night of camp, one of my players won a raffle and picked me to be dunked in the dunk tank! I love my players so much and I’m so proud to know them.

Lucky Fin Project Weekend 2019

My third Lucky Fin Project Weekend just came to an end! For anyone who doesn’t know, my first Lucky Fin Weekend in 2017 is what changed my life and prompted me to want to do as much as I can for the limb different community. I’ve met so many amazing people and developed so many relationships I never thought I’d have! It’s the most meaningful experience to have friendships with other limb different people because we all have so much in common! This year I got to meet my new best friend Lily! Lily and I have been friends on the internet for over a year now, so it was such a joy to get to meet her in person. Though we live so far away, we’ve planned some trips to take together in the near future. Lucky Fin Project Weekend 2019 was a blast! We had attendees from 23 states and 4 countries, totaling to a near 700 people. Thank you to everyone who bought Lucky Fin shirts in 2017-2018! You guys rock!
