The Orthotic and Prosthetic Activities Foundation (OPAF) was saddened to
hear about the terrorist attack in Boston last week. OPAF has been committed
to helping people with physical challenges become active in a stress-free,
encouraging environment since 1995. The wide range of First Clinics
available makes it possible for every person with a physical challenge to
participate in a First Clinic that will help them to meet and exceed their
personal goals.
The good people who became victims of this very recent national tragedy need
time to heal both mentally and physically. Once that process is well
underway and people are ready to learn, or relearn an activity that is
important to them we will be ready to assist. Our therapeutic riding
program, McKeever's First Ride is already being planned for next year with a
location that will be convenient to people in the Boston area. Other First
Clinics covering a wide assortment of activities will be available as well.
OPAF remains committed to our mission of Giving Wings to Dreams to anyone
and everyone with a physical challenge.
We are always ready to assist anyone with a physical challenge, regardless
of whether the person attended is well known on a national level or known
only to close friends and family members.
To learn more about OPAF and how we can partner with you to encourage
physical activity among people with physical challenges, please visit our

About OPAF: Serving as the philanthropic arm of the US orthotic and
prosthetic community, the Orthotic & Prosthetic Activities Foundation
(OPAF), develops, implements, partners and hosts adaptive recreational
clinics for those with physical challenges. The First Clinics are
recognized as leaders in adaptive recreation. Whether this is the first
time a participant is trying an activity after illness, injury or episode or
the first time they are ever trying, First Clinics offer top notch adaptive
instruction specifically for them. Founded in 1995 to support the Paralympic
Games in Atlanta, OPAF & The First Clinics have moved forward to offer
introductory level adaptive recreation opportunities to everyone, not just
the elite athlete. For more information on OPAF and The First Clinics,
