This Veterans Day, we’d like to introduce you to Rob, an NSCD participant and U.S. Army Veteran. Since leaving the military, Rob has had a difficult time integrating back into civilian life, and has faced some of his hardest days. While living in a housing facility for Veterans, he came across a flyer for the NSCD and joined his first adaptive biking trip in the mountains – provided at no cost to him and designed specifically for Veterans and active military members.

“This adventure in the mountains elicited a sense of purity in me that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. NSCD staff and volunteers helped me feel seen, independent, and connected with nature,” Rob shared.

Today you can honor a Veteran with a donation to the NSCD. And there’s no better time to make a difference. From now until Colorado Gives Day (12/10), your gift will be increased by a $1 Million+ State-Wide Incentive Fund. Your support will go further to help more Veterans like Rob, along with other youth and adults with disabilities, experience hope and healing through adaptive outdoor experiences. Donate today at

Our Story

The National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) is one of the largest outdoor therapeutic recreation and adaptive sports agencies in the world, based out of Winter Park Resort and Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Colorado. The NSCD began in 1970 providing ski lessons for children with amputations for the Children’s Hospital of Denver. Each year more than 3,000 children and adults with disabilities participate in our programs to learn more about sports and themselves. With specially trained staff and volunteers, and its own adaptive equipment lab, the NSCD teaches a variety of year-round sports and activities to individuals with almost any physical, cognitive, emotional or behavioral diagnosis.
