Ainsley’s Angels: Inclusion Without Limits
On Saturday, July 15th, attorney David Daggett of Daggett Shuler Law appeared on Triad Today with Lauren Bruce, Senior VP of Development at Ainsley’s Angels, to discuss some exciting upcoming events. Watch the segment:
Ainsley’s Angels is a nonprofit organization that pairs able-bodied athletes with participants who are not physically capable of participating in running or endurance events. With over 70 ambassadors nationwide, their mission is “inclusion without limits.” The Triad chapter has been active for 5 years, and they offer opportunities to participate in all types of events, from 5Ks to marathons. Their philosophy is that running is for everyone, and riders never need to pay anything – whether for race registrations or use of special wheelchairs.
Community involvement and support are critical to support Ainsley’s Angels’s mission. The program is entirely volunteer-run, and corporate and community participation allows them to spread the message that there is a place for everyone, and emphasizes giving back to the community.
