Now that Matt and Leah Herron have moved to Omaha, Neb., after five years in Dickinson, the couple and their three children won’t need the type of medical travel assistance NDAD provided both Leah and their daughter, Blakeley, in their times of need. The impression NDAD left on the Herrons didn’t get left behind in North Dakota.
Now in its milestone 30th year, Escape to the Lake continues to provide individuals with health challenges the opportunity to experience the thrill of water sports using adaptive equipment, with support and guidance from trained volunteers. The event reflects NDAD’s longtime commitment to expanding access to recreation and promoting inclusive community experiences.
Through a donation from NDAD, a VertaCat mobility cart is now available at King’s Walk Golf Course—opening the door for individuals with limited mobility to experience the game in a new and meaningful way.
