TRS is sponsoring Meg Fisher via the Range of Motion Project as she climbs Chimborazo in Ecuador in October. Meg is a doctor of physical therapy and a professional athlete. She holds Paralympic gold, silver, and bronze medals from the Rio 2016 and London 2012 Games and ten world championships.
Meg survived a tragic car accident that caused her to lose the lower portion of her left leg. Since then, she has worked tirelessly to heal and move beyond her new physical limitations. Today, Meg is dedicated to helping erase limits, change lives, and demonstrate the capacity of the human body and spirit.
She is participating in the 10th annual Climbing for ROMP (Range of Motion Project) initiative. Climbing for ROMP was established in 2015 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It has since become a global movement, highlighting the importance of access to prosthetic care and the international significance of legislation protecting rights for those with disabilities.
Fun fact: We are going to try to join the climb next year! In the meantime, we're inviting everyone to follow along, Support Meg and join the TRS team for a virtual climb.
