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.
