RAD Recreation Adapted Society hasn't added a story.
Everyone should have access to physical activity regardless of who they are.
Unfortunately, people who need specialized equipment to
continue to play their way have great difficulty accessing this
expensive adaptive gear.
Fortunately, RAD Society has the
ability to make this adaptive gear accessible and affordable.
Sadly, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Canada that
do not have access to the outdoors or the specialized gear they need
to get there.
Luckily, 100% of your registration fee + donation
in this years' 5th annual RAD Polar Plunge Gone Virtual is going to
help get one more person access to adaptive recreation -- the RAD
Gear Box, a 'shop' full of fun outdoor adaptive devices that humans
can rent and loan for short-term fun or to try it before they buy
it. (One more person is an understatement!)
Please help us improve the lives of those with physical challenges one person at a time.
By providing this access we can help people who feel they have been left behind, who feel excluded by the current lack of support for healthy living (mentally and physically). With outdoor access and recreation individuals' sense of well-being improves, their physical fitness improves, and overall better health with an increased willingness to participate in their community surrounding them. These are just some of the positive outcomes of play.
Let's work together to play together! Let's leave no one sitting still!
100% of your $20/individual registration fee, all swag sales
and any additional contributions
are going towards getting
butts in seats!

RAD Society plans on launching the prototype Gear Box, a rental adaptive gear hub and prototype, in Squamish BC. Working with their Parks and Recreation department to make this prototype successful and attainable by other keen communities and heart centred organizations. COMING SOON TO A COMMUNITY NEAR YOU!
Pledge to plunge and let's get freezin' for a reason!!!
The RAD Polar Plunge was established five years ago to help fund the mission of a brand new registered charity, RAD Recreation Adapted Society. RAD Society aims at influencing communities to invest in inclusion, aspiring to create a world where individuals living with short-term or permanent mobility issues have the opportunity and means to live independent, active (outdoor) lifestyles with friends and family regardless of financial circumstance. By providing an inventory of adaptive outdoor sport and recreation equipment to those independent living humans who wish to play their way with their friends and family RAD is eliminating one of the largest barriers to mobility challenged individuals access to the outdoors, cost.
The price tag on adaptive equipment can reach anywhere from 10x to 100x a piece of regular able-bodied gear. By working as a community, raising awareness and funds to increase the availability of adaptive outdoor devices, we will get everybody outside playing together!
