All Access Life

🕙We are less than 24 hours away from the marathon!🏃♂️ ⚠️🚨Marathon Fundraiser Update 🚨⚠️ We are pleased to announce that we've been able to drop our fundraising goal down to 25,000$🙏🔥 https://lnkd.in/ergXXuap 🎯 Hitting this target will allow us to purchase a wheelchair adapted company vehicle!!! 🚌💨 Currently we are at 20% of our goal. We can't thank everyone enough for all the support so far! This vehicle will enable us to reach out to more individuals, schools, and organizations, ensuring that our message of inclusion and accessibility resonates throughout the community. With this van, we can better serve those who need our support and help create a more inclusive environment for all. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to acquiring this crucial resource. Your contribution will directly impact the lives of many individuals with disabilities and enable us to continue our work towards a more inclusive society. Please consider donating to our nonprofit and joining us on this journey towards a more accessible and inclusive community. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your support.

After working together for 14 years, last Friday, I drove Brad's adaptive van for the first time!! This is an EPIC milestone for us because it opens up so many possibilities for new adventures! "It was so much fun, and I can't wait for the adventures we will get up to!" - Brad Our next goal is to get a company adaptive vehicle for All Access Life and adapt it so Brad can sit shotgun! This way we can travel around North America delivering presentations and attending conferences in style 😎 #VroomVroom #AdaptiveVehicle #NewAdventures

Today was our first day working as #Consultants at Mackay elementary school Bradley Heaven and I will be mentoring, coaching, and tutoring young #AAC users a few hours each month! We're so excited about this opportunity and look forward to making an impact in these children's lives! "It was a great feeling back at Mackay and being able to share our experience with young AAC users" - Brad Fun fact: Mackay and the staff hold a special place in Brad's heart because it is his old stomping grounds! He went to elementary school at Mackay. Things have definitely come full circle 😃❤️ Image Description: Brad and Dan in front of Mackay elementary school.

As we wind down from the energy buzzing at Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) we are reflecting on our purpose. Our mission is to empower people with disabilities to live their best life by connecting them with adaptive products. Our work would not be possible without partnerships with key supporters like Tobii Dynavox 🤝 Our sponsors and community’s support enables us to attend conferences like ATIA and bring insights & learning back to you! 👉 We are extremely grateful to be partnered with such a revolutionary company. The employees at Tobii Dynavox are profoundly passionate and knowledgeable. When we attend these AT conferences, we always love hanging out at the TD booth and meeting new TD team members! 🤝 As we were delivering our presentation #SquadGoals on the first day of ATIA, we looked in the audience and saw the CEO of Tobii Dynavox, Fredrik Ruben, along with other TD employees in the audience there to support us. 😍 The next evening, we were invited out to dinner with the Tobii Dynavox team. We watched the leaders of TD Fredrik and Tara Rudnicki deliver inspirational toasts to the entire team. This company has dedicated leaders that we look up to, and we strive to be the impactful leaders that they are one day. 🥂🍽 After dinner, we went out for drinks with Fredrik and others from the TD team. We always love hanging out with Fredrik at these conferences since he is such a down to earth person! We even invited him to join us on one of our upcoming marathons!! Maybe one day you will see Fredrik and some TD members running alongside us during an All Access Life marathon!!🦽🏃♂️🏃♂️ Thanks, Tobii Dynavox, for not only giving Brad a voice but for believing in the work All Access Life is doing and supporting us every step of the way. Together, we will make a positive impact on the lives of people with disabilities around the globe! 🌎♿️ This is a partnership we cherish and look forward to growing for many years to come 🤝❤️ #Partnership #Community
