I have been telling everyone I know about this organization and the family-adaptive trip we took. I feel such a sense of pride and excitement that my family did this ride. It was challenging, fun, and felt really new to us. The other participants and volunteers formed an awesome community.

OOFD organized an amazing first overnight bike camping trip for our family. The group was well organized and the pace was appropriate given the size and diversity of the group. Campsite was perfect and there were so many activities to explore/

All of the volunteers were incredible, amazing and understanding. We had an awesome experience and we thank each one for making possible such a great experience. We need more of this for our kids with disabilities. Thank you so very much!!

"WOW" and "OMG" are the right words to describe. It was super awesome. How could you make 10 different unrelated families feel like one big one? We had a truly exceptional and fantastic time. THANK YOU.
