Thank YousParadox Sports Thank you

Dear Mikesell Foundation, Sherry, Laura, Julie and Kendall,

We truly appreciate you supporting Paradox Sports adaptive climbing programs again in 2017. Your donation of $1,000 on October 20, 2017, will be a huge assistance for our 2018 ice climbing trip to the Ouray Ice Park. Together we are making a big impact on the community.

Your donation supports Paradox Sports’ climbing trips and training curriculum as we continue to build community around adaptive sports for people living with physical disabilities. Each year, we host transformative climbing experiences aimed at helping individuals with physical differences achieve their climbing goals, while overcoming physical and mental obstacles. Our veteran’s programs enable former servicemen and women to take on challenges like ice climbing in Ouray, Co, or ascending iconic routes in Yosemite National Park, all while navigating the often difficult transition to civilian life. In addition to our trips, our adaptive climbing curriculum helps build adaptive climbing communities across the nation by providing clients with hands-on trainings, comprehensive adaptive climbing manuals, and specialized adaptive equimpment, enabling gyms, universities and outdoor education programs across the country to offer their services to a greater population.

Our impact in the community is made possible by the incredible support of donors like you. Thank you for your belief in our mission and for helping us to defy convention, one climb at a time. We are looking forward to sharing our successes with you.

Kind regards,

Shelley Brook
Operations Manager
