Grayson was born with Spina Bifida in 1999. As you can see from the pictures, he has not allowed it to slow him down very much.

He's been on many adventures that include hunting, fishing, water and snow skiing, ice hockey, hiking/camping with his Boy Scout Troop, and wheelchair basketball (the team he played with won the National Championship for their division in 2013). 

He absolutely loves the outdoors more than anything. That comes with a few challenges when you have a disability. Grayson and I have enjoyed many outdoor experiences together and want to help other families do the same.

Our challenge in the past has been having the adapted "tools" to get where we want, when we want it for the activity. We know that other families/individuals face the same challenges and have limited funds available to purchase adaptive equipment. That is why we created Outdoor Ability Foundation 501 (c) 3.

We provide grants to purchase adaptive equipment like crossbow cocking devices, portable hunting blinds, fishing equipment, skiing equipment, etc. for those families, individuals, and groups needing this equipment to provide outdoor experiences for the disabled.

Grayson and I have enjoyed outdoor adventures for years but are just beginning our journey as Outdoor Ability Foundation to help others. Help us spread the word by sharing us on Facebook.
