SPEAKERS

 The guest speakers will be New England Disabled Sports coach Cam Shaw-Doran, and Kirk Bauer the executive director of Disabled Sports USA.

 

Bauer, who lost a leg while serving in Vietnam, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro this past August with two bilateral leg amputee veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Yes, these three incredibly determined men climbed a 19,340 foot mountain with only one good leg between them! Come hear Kirk talk about his experiences on the mountain.
