It’s an undeniable truth that nature has the power to heal. For those dealing with health troubles and those struggling with everyday life, spending more time outdoors, becoming one with the natural world, can be therapeutic. For more than 30 years, an organization in Colorado has been dedicated to taking advantage of nature’s healing ability to help the mobility-disabled, as well as at-risk youths, reconnect with the outdoors.
Outdoor Buddies was founded in 1984 by Sid Sellers and Sam Andrews. Back then, its main focus was providing therapeutic recreational opportunities for patients suffering 
from spinal cord injuries. Today, the nonprofit organization has expanded its programs to help all people with mobility disabilities. It has also created a youth program that provides outdoor educational and recreational opportunities to at-risk youths.
Help Outdoor Buddies
Incredibly, Outdoor Buddies is completely volunteer-run. 100% of the money collected through fundraising and donations goes to the programs. Officers and members of the board of directors are unpaid. However, there are certain expenses, like insurance, that cannot be avoided. If you’d like to learn more about Outdoor Buddies and make a donation, feel free to visit outdoorbuddies.org today.
