It's almost my birthday. On 7/27, I turn another year older, and this year I'm not asking for gifts. I'm asking for $7.

Here's why. I founded Disability Partnerships after a spinal cord injury taught me how quickly the world becomes inaccessible, and how much it costs - financially. We always want our programs to be free for our participants. Our community lives with limited income and high medical bills. So we keep our adaptive fitness classes 100% free. Last year that meant 260+ classes for 4,100+ people who got stronger, moved more, and stopped feeling alone. 93% of them stayed with us a full year.

Your $7 helps keep those classes free. It funds adaptive equipment grants, scholarships, and the new mental health program we're building specifically for people with disabilities.

My goal is $727 by 11:59 p.m. on July 27. Just 104 friends at $7 gets us there, and you can give more if you'd like ($14, $27, $77, all the way to $727). Any multiple of 7. Every gift, at any size, makes access real for someone this year.

Will you be one of the 104?

Thank you.

it would mean the world.

Turn 7 Into 727

Give $7 for my 7/27 birthday and help keep our adaptive programs free.
