Sports and Recreation for All: Megan Welty, Courage Kenny

Fitness, the outdoors and fun is for everyone, but the reality is, if you have a disability, this trifecta isn’t always available to you —- enter our guest Megan Welty. Megan is an Adaptive Sports & Recreation professional with Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute. Megan helps breaks down barriers to make access to movement (and often movement in the outdoors) a reality for people who have traditionally been excluded. Passionate about recreation, inclusion, excellence and empowering others, she finds joy in creating meaningful experiences for each participant that helps them meet their personal goals. 

The result? Some of the happiest people we’ve seen on the trails are with someone in Courage Kenny gear. This quote from a Courage Kenny athlete says it best, “To be active is to breathe- it’s to be in the world”.
