Schuyler's
​Story

Picture
The last time Schuyler was paddling on a river was in 2016 at age 22 when a boulder fell on her and crushed her skull and body.

Her motor skills may be diminished but not her spirit.  The requested donation to participate is $250. 

Ask your school, church, club or business to help you help Schuyler.

This is a fundraising paddle to help Schuyler Arakawa get to the Ms. Wheelchair America contest and then to provide the StirringWaters Adaptive Water Ski Clinic in which Schuyler and other Ms. Wheelchair Florida contestants will be participating.
