We're Gabby and Brian: husband/wife duo and volunteers with Maine Adaptive. Born without her left hand, Gabby started with Maine Adaptive as a student in 2021 learning to ski. Already an avid skier, Brian was welcomed to Maine Adaptive as a volunteer in 2021. Today, both Gabby and Brian volunteer with Maine Adaptive as ski instructors and with the mountain biking program. Maine Adaptive is a life-changing organization that empowers individuals with disabilities to experience the freedom and joy of adaptive sports. 

Join us in supporting Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation through our Ski-A-Thon fundraiser! Maine Adaptive has allowed Brian to share his love of skiing and mountain biking with Gabby, and together they now provide support to students so they can also develop their own love for these activities. Watching someone who once thought, "I can't do this," suddenly realize, "Yes, I can" is one of the most powerful things we've ever been apart of. We come back each season not only for this reason, but because of the joy, belonging, and friendships we have made throughout the years with the organization.

Your contribution will directly support Maine Adaptive's programs, helping to break down barriers and create opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to thrive through recreation. Every dollar raised makes a real impact—whether it's providing specialized equipment, training volunteers, or offering cost-free lessons to participants. You can make a difference by donating to our fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends.

Want to get even more involved? Reach out to us to learn how you can support this incredible mission. Together, we can help Maine Adaptive continue to change lives and build a stronger, more inclusive community. Thank you for your generosity!
