1000 Islands,
NY - North Country Access Cycling, Northern New York’s chapter of
Disabled Sports, USA,
will hold North Country Access 2010 on Friday
July 16, 2010 at the
Antique Boat Museum in
Clayton,
NY.
North Country Access 2010 is an all-day all-abilities water sports
recreation event on the shores of the St. Lawrence River.
Children and adults with mobility impairments, sensory limitation or
other disabling conditions will have the chance to fully participate.
Designated
as a Wounded Warriors Disabled Sports event, recently injured veterans
of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will participate. “This is
our chance to show support for those who have served by engaging them
as part of our community. Recreation and participation in sports have
been shown to provide a foundation for development of a positive
self-image and to lessen the emotional and psychological trauma of war
and injury. This is a transformative factor in leading a productive
and independent life. We are delighted and honored to have a role in
that healing process,” states Susan Zabriskie, event chair.
Event partners include the
New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation Universal Access Program,
JRC,
North Country
Orthopedic Group,
TI Adventures
and
Y-Knot Sailing. The
Antique Boat Museum in
Clayton NY will be the host site.
