Being a disabled kid is a big challenge to overcome. It has been my passion and life’s work to give these children a start in life they would never have had, with challenging wilderness programs.
I was born with severe Cerebral Palsy and I use a power chair, but I now feel fortunate in life and I wouldn’t change it for anything! At nine years old, my parents enrolled me in an annual wilderness camp in the High Sierras where I fished, hiked, played in the lake and slept under the stars. I learned I could do anything I set my mind to and it became my favorite place on earth.

Ten years and thousands of happy ‘Wampler Kids’ later, my quest continues to champion young adventurers by directly funding these life-changing experiences at no cost to their families. None of this, of course, is possible without your generosity. Any amount that you can contribute, large or small, will make a big difference in helping disabled kids to live richer lives.
