LUKE “STRIDER” JORDAN SATURDAY, 12:30 PM APOLLO ROOM

“LIVING BEYOND LIMITS” After contracting a rare illness at 19, a double leg amputation made for a life-altering experience. Challenging herself to move on, Amy attained goals that even those who have both legs struggle to achieve. 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.

Join Amy for a panel discussion, “Access to Adventure” Saturday, Feb. 13: 10 AM, Apollo Room

“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!
