Hello Friends and Family! Welcome to my fundraising page!

In the past few years, running has become an important part of my life.  Running has brought me a greater sense of happiness, health, and accomplishment. As many of you know, I completed my first 50 mile race this past September. This July, I'm raising the bar a bit higher and will be participating in the VT 100 Endurance Race, a 100 mile run that takes place in the beautiful Vermont mountains over the course of 30 hours (my goal is to finish in 24 hours). I have the amazing opportunity to run as a charity runner, so I am committed to raising at least $1,000 for the wonderful organization, Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports. I hope to help Vermont Adaptive provide even more opportunities to people of all ages with a variety of disabilities, to participate in actives that have brought so much joy and richness to my life. Vermont Adaptive organizes sports, recreational programs, and wellness and environmental retreats. They provide support to participants and equipment for the following programs; downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, cycling, rock climbing, horseback riding, and more. 

Please consider donating what you can to help me reach my goal and help Vermont Adaptive meet their goal too! If you're unable to donate, sharing my page or words of encouragement are most welcome, too!

Thanks so much! 

-Landon

MORE INFO:
Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that empowers people of all disabilities through inclusive sports and recreational programming regardless of ability to pay. In addition to sports, year round programming options integrate environmental, holistic wellness, and competitive training philosophies for people of all ages with cognitive, developmental, physical and emotional/behavioral disabilities.    The organization believes sports and recreation provide a physical, mental and social experience that is immeasurable in promoting self-confidence and independence in an individual.

With nearly 400 active volunteer instructors, plus generous partners and sponsors, and an amazing base of clients and friends, Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports has been at the forefront of sports and recreation for those with disabilities in New England for nearly 30 years. Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports is committed to empowering individuals with disabilities. We promote independence and further equality through access and instruction to sports and recreational activities.

The VT 100 is one of Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports biggest fund raisers every year. For more information about Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports: www.vermontadaptive.org.

The Vermont 100 Endurance Race is in its 29th year and was started by the same woman, Laura Farrell, who founded Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports. The VT 100 is put on every year by a committee of 15 dedicated volunteers who work year round, 250 volunteers who come out for race weekend, more than 30 private land owners and many donors of funds, products or services. Monies raised from the event support the year-round programs offered by Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports.

The course is a "shamrock" loop, consisting of 70% dirt or jeep roads with the rest on woods trails with just a couple miles of pavement. The course both climbs and descends 17,000 feet. Participants have 30 hours to complete the race and many strive to finish in less than 24 hours. In 2008 we added a 100 K course that uses almost all of the same trail, just cutting out the first of the shamrocks leaves.

All 100 Mile participants must have completed a 50 mile race in 12 hours or less to qualify and everyone is required to volunteer for 8 hours at a running event or trail work to enter.

Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports is the largest year-round disabled sports non-profit organization in Vermont offering the most diverse program opportunities and unique, specialized equipment. Vermont Adaptive promotes independence and furthers equality through access and instruction to sports and recreational opportunities including alpine skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports; kayaking, canoeing, sailing, cycling, hiking, rock climbing, tennis, horseback riding, wellness and environmental programming and more. We serve clients of all abilities with physical, cognitive and emotional/behavioral disabilities from all over the world in three locations in Vermont during the winter – Killington Resort and Pico Mountain in Killington; Sugarbush Resort in Warren; and Bolton Valley in Bolton. Summer programs are provided state-wide.
