June 4, 2016 - LIMBitless™ Challenge - Table Rock Ascent
Our first event was a great success and the LIMBitless Team wants to thank you for being
a part of it. Your support and participation was vital to achieving our goal. We had 17 adaptive teams and every single person completed the ascent, with the help of their teammates.
Each participant in a wheelchair was provided with a FREE "FreeWheel", which provides far greater mobility, allowing them more options for adventures. These aren't covered by insurance and cost approximately $700.00 each, so many were so elated when we were able to tell them to take them home!
We were fortunate enough to have a flyover of 7 Blackhawk Attack Helicopters to start our event, additionally we had very special guests, below.
Charlie Linville - The first combat-wounded veteran amputee to reach the summit of Mount Everest not only attended and rooted everyone on, he placed the medals around the necks of those as they successfully completed the hike. What an honor to have him present.
Brianna Helbling provided entertainment at the top, and started off the event with a beautiful singing of our national anthem. She also performed "LIMBitless," a song written for LIMBitless, which was amazing! She is an incredible talent and were so lucky to have her here, all the way from North Dakota.
Richie Brockel, the former NFL tight-end for the Carolina Panthers, attended and helped take people to the top. He was so very kind to everyone and it was a pleasure having him attend.
We sincerely hope that everyone who participated was positively impacted by their experience.
