One of the greatest opportunities I've ever had is volunteering with the US Paralympic sailing team. I got to meet people from all over the world with many different physical challenges. I found these people were more whole in mind, body and spirit than I'll ever be. They taught me that a physical disability isn't a reason not to do something or try something new, the disability is the reason to stretch their limits as far as they could. I'm so amazed by the wonderful people I met and sailed with and feel so honored that I got the chance to spend time with them. They all taught me so much about being human and about being accepting of one another.
