Alright, y'all, I've gotta get real for a minute. Last night hit me right in the feels. Hunter Boyd and I rolled up to the North Carolina Adapted Sports Gala, and holy moly, what a night! Our team and my girl Dana Ben were sponsors, but let me tell you, WE were the ones feeling blessed.
These folks at NCAS? They're not messing around. They're out here changing lives, no exaggeration. We're talking about creating sports opportunities for people with disabilities, and let me tell you, the stories we heard... I was fighting back tears half the night!
And don't even get me started on their trail projects. Eight bridges widened at
Lake Crabtree alone! They've created 3 trail bypasses, making the whole park a playground for adapted cyclists of all skill levels.
Over at Harris Lake, they're not slowing down either - replacing bridges left and right to make that intermediate loop accessible. And hold onto your hats, because they're involved in this massive new 286/Umstead off-road trail project. We're talking 200+ acres of accessible trails in the works. Are you kidding me? That's not just impressive, that's life-changing stuff right there.
Look, I know I'm always going on about mortgages and home loans (it's my thing, after all), but nights like last night reminded me why it's so important for business owners to support organizations like this that are making lasting change.
I left that gala feeling humbled, inspired, and honestly, a little
fired up. We've got to do more. I've got to do more.
So here's my challenge to you, my amazing LinkedIn connections... Look up NCAS https://lnkd.in/dTrzzGWH and see what they're about. And if you can, get involved. Volunteer, donate, spread the word - whatever you can do.
Because at the end of the day, we're all in this crazy life together. And if we can help make someone's world a little bit bigger, a little bit brighter?
?? Well, that's what it's all about.
