Our whole mission is to improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities through outdoor recreation. Judging by these kids' reaction, I think it's a mission accomplished today.

It's been a great couple of days and I think we were able to reach many people and touch their lives with this.

Our goal is to get people out and active. These regional programs give people a chance to see if their child will enjoy an activity. Once the individual realizes that they can experience success on a bike, they may want to continue. This gives people a chance to get something that fits with what their children will be interested in.

We made some phone calls and e-mails back and forth. They hooked us up with Jeff Hendricks (an adaptive physical education teacher at Douglas) and we went from there.

It's not a master plan to do every remake and every recreation of icons. It's just what I've been hired to do.
