When You Can No Longer Walk, Learn To Fly with Dana Hunt
In this episode, Dana Hunt is proving that even when ALS changes your body, the sky is still the limit.
The day Dana Hunt learned to paraglide is the day her instructor noticed something was wrong with her leg. Years later, she’s living with ALS and still finding her way into the sky and she’s helping other people with ALS and mobility challenges do it too. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to keep your identity intact while your body changes, this conversation will stay with you. Dana also breaks down Adaptive Impact, the organization she co-founded to gift adaptive paragliding and adaptive skydiving experiences. Her biggest takeaway is clear: ALS is a mental game as much as a physical one, and we can choose to grieve losses without letting them take over the whole story.

Hugs, Lorri
About Lorri Carey
On Friday the 13th, February 2004 at the age of 37, I was told I have ALS. I’m dying from ALS, yet I’m so encouraged to live life to the fullest. I’ve been inspired by so much to stay focused on the positive. I’m dying to tell you about what gives me strength, makes me smile and keeps me hopeful – in hopes of inspiring you too!
