Volunteer Testimonial
"Volunteering for No Barriers has been inspiring and very insightful. The leaders of the organization are not only elite athletes, but are also accomplished and intelligent people. I think everyone who participates in No Barriers is stimulated in part by the curiosity we all have about people who seem to accomplish the impossible. The surprise is that so many amazing people gather at these events...I enjoy meeting them and have come away both in 2007 and 2009 with increased appreciation for:
- the work of volunteers
- the creativity of those in the disability community
- the amazing capacity we all possess to adapt to change. This is so perfectly demonstrated by people who have various disabilities"
