Thank you, RISE, Move United, and The Hartford for a wonderful event! Thank you to The Hartford for always supporting adaptive sports.
What a great day on the water with RISE! Loved seeing Skylar, Jaime and Hailey trying out the new wake surf boards (before the storm came through)! Jeremy's reaction was priceless! Keep up the great work, RISE Adaptive! #MoveUnited
We can't thank The Hartford enough for continuing to inspire #humanachievement through the #adaptivesports grants they distribute. No doubt, this will make an impact for years to come!
All great pictures
