I’m participating in Owl Night: an all-night climbathon for ParaCliffHangers, my adaptive climbing team. Please sponsor me by donating or designating a set amount per route I climb. My Goal is 6 climbs between 10 PM and 3 AM! 

When I became a wheelchair user the biggest loss was my access to exercise and the natural world, and this is not a unique experience. So many people with disabilities have limited opportunities for indoor, and especially outdoor recreation. The work that PCH does to break down barriers and build inclusive communities has benefited countless climbers with disabilities across the country, including myself. Because of PCH I am more active and in touch with my body than I have been in years. I am even looking at the possibility of competing as an adaptive athlete. 

 ParaCliffHangers (PCH) is a nonprofit organization that fosters community, adventure, strength, and equity through adaptive rock climbing. PCH offers indoor, outdoor and competitive climbing opportunities for individuals with all types of disabilities. Your sponsorship of my climbs overnight on Jan 24-25 will help ensure that PCH can continue to grow and benefit climbers with disabilities across New York City and beyond. You can also purchase a ticket to climb at OWL NIGHT if you are a climber, even if you’re not disabled or you only boulder. Thank you for your support!
