July 18, 2012 - Footloose Sailing - Bob Ewing
When faced with a difficult or life-changing trial, there
are those who curl up and hide to protect themselves. Then, there are those
like Bob Ewing of Footloose Sailing who chose to make the best of the
situation, and then some! Following an accident after he graduated from
college, Bob found himself looking at the world in a little bit of a different
way. Bob has been with Footloose Sailing from the very start and is now one of
eleven board members of the organization.
Footloose offers sailing trips to those with disabilities of
all types. These trips give sailors the opportunity to leave their disability at
the dock and feel on top of the world as they enjoy the open water.
Participants are given three options: sit back and enjoy the ride, help out as
much as comfort allows, or start learning how to operate the vessel. This
wonderful gift Footloose gives to its participants is truly life changing.
Footloose currently operates on less than $20,000 a year and
offers classes at about $15/trip. However, this $15 can be too much for
deserving participants. If you are interested in setting up a scholarship with
Footloose or would like to volunteer on their trips, reach out!
