Greetings New Hampshire-United spinal Association members, friends and family, In collaboration with Sunset Hill Educational Institute (SHEI), parent nonprofit organization of Wheelchair Health In Motion (WHIM), NH-USA…Believe me when I say this, we would all like to see everybody and would like to invite you all to come and explore SHEI’s new fully accessible pathways (includes accessible restroom), learn about Nature’s Way programs held on the pathways, and enjoy some time in nature with your peers. Refreshments included! These pathways are a private place where an individual can be in nature on their own or with an intimate group of friends. It is a place for reflection and freedom for the mind, body, & soul, and a wonderful environment for the senses.

GSIL’s 11th Annual wheelchair basketball fundraiser, Hoops on Wheels will be Saturday at Memorial Field in Concord, NH. Hoops on Wheels is an all-day basketball tournament where players maneuver the court using wheelchairs – whether they have a disability or not! We are increasing the ways to participate this year to include some traditional ‘field day’ activities to take full advantage of the outdoor setting and offerings at Memorial Field. Back again this year – the REM Wheelchair Challenge Course!  Hoops not your thing?  Take a turn around the track in a handcycle or give the wheelchair obstacle course a try.
