Since 2005, March of Dimes has been able to offer adapted kayaking at Geneva Park, Orillia, facilitated by Pauline Halstead of Abilities in Motion. Derrick Lavallee, a long-time program participant was able to experience the thrill of kayaking for the first time. “When you are in a kayak for the first time it is so awesome!” exhorts Derrick. He continues, “Being able to kayak was a real life changing experience for me. It was not easy, but once I got the hang of things I had the time of my life!”
