In the famous words of Dolly Parton,

         If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

The path that’s been paved before us may be riddled with road blocks. Instead of overcoming those barriers, we often accept them. We shy away from paving new paths because familiarity is comfortable and comfortable is safe. No Barriers builds programs that teach individuals that's What's Within You Is Stronger Than What's In Your Way!  No barrier should determine who gets to to participate, explore, or enjoy the simple pleasures in life. 

That's why No Barriers is building a world where individuals and communities feel confident navigating life's challenges, a world where barriers don't stand in the way of possibilities and building new paths is possible. So please take a minute to help Rebecca and I raise funds for What's Your Everest--No Barriers largest fundraiser. Rebecca and I too were once up against a major barrier. She wore Duke Blue and I Tarheel Blue, but we channeled our inner strength and found a common bond--eventually removing the barrier and making one home.
