Amy is now a world-class snowboarder, 2014 Paralympic Medalist, Dancing with the Stars finalist and a testament that the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves.

“A THRU-HIKE OF THE NORTH COUNTRY TRAIL” Learn about a hiker’s 4,600-mile journey over the nation’s longest scenic trail, what Strider calls the “crown jewel” of the national scenic trail system — and which passes through Dayton. From the vast plains of North Dakota to the high peaks of the Adirondacks, this is a story of struggle to overcome obstacles and continue in pursuit of achieving goals and personal growth. Stay for the long-distance hiker Q&A with Strider and others from the trail community immediately following his presentation!
