T
he spirit of No Barriers was conceived by a group of friends with a passion for the beautiful natural places of the world.  Each of their lives was profoundly shaped by the mountains, and each in turn used the natural world to shatter barriers about what is possible. In 2003, they came together to form No Barriers, a not-for-profit organization with a goal of promoting innovative ideas, approaches, and assistive technologies which help people with disabilities push through their own personal barriers to live full and active lives. 

 

No Barriers is not just a name; it is the attitude of reaching out and finding ways to accomplish one's dreams, no matter what it takes.

 

No Barriers is for all people, regardless of age, state of mind or physical condition.

 

No Barriers assumes every person has a thirst for adventure and a hope for the future which is worthy of igniting.  We hope to export this simple idea around the world.

 

 

“As I watched dancers in the opening ceremony [Festival 2009], I thought about how my wheelchair can do more than just carry me around. And as I led a breakout session during our Roundtable, I thought again about teaching. Imagine what those who didn't know what was going to be happening took away...

There are some events that impact a life and then there are those that impact lifestyle. You can make things happen by focusing beyond the barriers and changing your lifestyle as you continue the journey...”
