Dreams For Kids Host Extreme Recess!
(PRWEB) August 10, 2007 -- Children, who never before experienced the joy of being on a boat, water-skied for the very first time on specially equipped out rigger skies. Other activities included kayaking, swimming, and an adaptive biking obstacle course in the parking lot and a barbeque lunch on the beach.
Dreams for Kids (www.dreamsforkids.org) is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization headquartered in Chicago with a mission to empower young people of all abilities through dynamic leadership programs and life-changing activities that inspire them to fearlessly pursue their dreams and compassionately change the world.
The amazing story of Dreams for Kids and the 25,000 kids whose lives the organization has impacted was captured in the recently released and critically acclaimed book Kiss of a Dolphin, written by Dreams for Kids founder Tom Tuohy.
"After my daughter became a part of the Dreams for Kids Extreme Recess! (www.dreamsforkids.org) program, she stopped thinking about what she could not do, but only what she could do... being able to do so many things including water skiing, kayaking, all with one arm has changed her life (and mine as well). - Karen, Mom of Greta -- Age 16, below elbow amputee, Current USA Paralympic Team cyclist
