This GFM account was originally started shortly after my spinal cord injury in August 2014, to send me back to neuro-rehab at Project Walk in Southern California.

Since, my paralysis has directed me towards a becoming a change maker in the recreation and access world.
Being limited in outdoor access because of accessibility design and/or lack of access to adaptive recreation equipment sparked the idea for my charity, RAD Recreation Adapted Society. Which has led to the creation of Bolt Ventures, a new consulting company I started to begin getting paid for my knowledge & expertise. 

While I build the charity on high fives, hugs and hand shakes, I continue to fight to get paid as a speaker and barrier-free design consultant. Seems everyone likes to call on me for information, but most expect it cheap or free. 

And so the Go Fund Me still exists to help me pay for physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic work.... and the numerous other therapies I put my body through in order to continue my active lifestyle.

Thank you very much for supporting me and my journey to make the world more inclusive to those who wish to lead independent lives and for everyone to access the outdoors!

Much love,
Tanelle Bolt
