On today's podcast, Julie Taulman, CEO of the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD), discusses the organization's history and programs. Founded 54 years ago by Hal O'Leary, NSCD began with a focus on winter sports for children with disabilities and has since expanded to offer year-round activities such as skiing, snowboarding, horseback riding, paddling, sailing, and more. The NSCD serves over 1,750 individuals annually to promote physical activity, social engagement, and overall well-being for people with disabilities. Julie highlights the upcoming Rethink Ability Vertical Feet Ski Challenge, an event to raise funds for NSCD's programs. Participants ski to accumulate vertical feet and raise donations, with prizes for top challengers and fundraisers. Julie encourages support through participation or donations on the NSCD website, emphasizing the event's impact on providing adaptive outdoor experiences for individuals with disabilities.
