Accessible Adventures in the Pacific Northwest

One of my former on-air radio partners is an amazing talent. In additon to a great set of pipes and a wonderful personality, he's also a natural "on camera." John Williams contracted polio as a little boy and uses his wheel chair to navigate distances. ( He and I used to run the trails in downtown Portland after our air shift, me in running shoes, he in a wheelchair.)

It makes me proud to view this series of videos he's produced ( in conjunction with the US Forest Service) for others with special accessiblity needs. After all, everybody deserves to go on an adventure. Here's his introductory video about the Accessible Adventure series. Way to go, John!

Here are just a few Accessible Adventures with John Williams.

Hi Debb -- as Roger D. Mucci has already commented -- John is a natural on camera. You are to be commended for promoting him and this series of accessible adventures.

Debb,

How wonderful of you to promote John. He has a great voice and presence, and I love it when I see specially designed wheelchairs for sand on our beaches. There should not be limits for enjoying the great outdoors. A

Debb: A well done video, and you are right, John looks perfectly at ease in front of a camera. I can imagine the two of you made an incredible on the air radio pair!

This is a great video. And, thanks for the links.

Many other areas should promote accessible adventures. One of our favorites is Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. Dolores loves the scooters that enable her to see so much of the 1,000+ acres.
