Congratulations to Joanna French and the volunteers of Trails Without Limits who were honored as one of @westchestermagazine ’s “Healthcare Heroes” at a ceremony at @mulinosrestaurant yesterday.
Trails Without Limits allows individuals who live with physical disabilities or have other mobility concerns the opportunity to hike the trails of Westchester County Parks with the use of our All-Terrain Trackchairs, at no cost to the user.
We enjoyed a fantastic site visit at @campmorty with The Sexauer Foundation, showcasing the renovated campers’ cabin that their support made possible. Thank you #sexauerfoundation!
