The Vermont Adaptive Charity Ride presented by Long Trail Brewing (formerly known as the Long Trail Century Ride) is an annual event to enjoy the beauty of Vermont through cycling and mountain biking all while raising funds for the state’s largest nonprofit organization committed to providing sports and recreation to people with disabilities.

There are even more ways to participate virtually in 2021: ride, stationary bike, run, walk, roll, do exercise classes, horseback ride, and more. Participate anytime and anywhere…from the safety of your own home or neighborhood. Stay tuned for details!

Please give to the Vermont Adaptive Resilience Fund and sponsor our most immediate needs during this global pandemic. If you are able, I hope that you will consider donating to the “Resilience Fund” to ensure that Vermont Adaptive can continue to safely support our community during this difficult time. Your donation will help support:
• PPE (masks, gloves, face shields) and sanitation supplies
• On-going health and safety training on COVID-19 guidelines and best practices for all staff and volunteers
• Adaptive Sports Equipment as well as trailers to transport equipment so that our programs are more mobile, bringing activities to our participants and allowing for physical distancing
• Scholarships to guarantee that no one will ever be turned away from play

Thank you for being a part of our community. Your support ensures that people with disabilities will have access to the outdoors during this most difficult time. Wishing you good health, resilience and lots of PLAY! Donate Here: http://www.vermontadaptive.org/resilience-fund-2020/
