WHIM Group Goes Kayaking

Wheelchair Health in Motion

By Suzy Brown
Suzy Brown (a Beacon staff member) is not letting her wheelchair get in
the way of taking on new challenges such as kayaking. It was her very
first time in a kayak, and she promises to return to next year’s kayaking
event held by the WHIM group. WHIM stands for wheelchair health in motion,
and the leader, Carol Conforti-Adams, works hard to arrange activities
and volunteers to make these outings possible. WHIM is encouraging folks
in wheelchairs to expand their worlds and join into mainstream life’s fun
outside activities. Photo: Aileen Kulacz
