Thanks for listening to the John Enn
Heidi Show. On a Monday, we

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.679
have Dylan from Wheelchair Adventures joining us. And Dylan, You've got some exciting

3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:11.960
stuff going on today at the Barrel
House and who falls, So tell me

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.960
a little bit about what's happening today. Thanks John, thanks for having me

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:21.559
on here. So today we're doing
a fundraiser with Barrel House for a nonprofit

6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.120
that I started here a couple months
ago called Wheelchair Adventures. So with Wheelchair

7
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.039
Adventures, we got some really big
goals to try to help other people with

8
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:38.240
disabilities to enjoy the outdoors, whether
that's hunting, fishing, hiking, kind

9
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.399
of all the above. We're just
really looking to try to help people get

10
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:48.359
outdoors again. And so let's talk
a little bit about how this organization was

11
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.000
started, because this is something that's
near and dear to you personally, right,

12
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.719
Yeah. Absolutely. So I was
in a car accident that I attempted

13
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.200
to suicide about ten years ago and
broke my neck and so I am now

14
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.680
quadriplegic in a wheelchair, and so
myself when I kind of got hurt,

15
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.280
like a lot of other people,
just assumed a lot of the things that

16
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.200
I wouldn't be able to do anymore. You know, I never thought I'd

17
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:18.879
be able to go hunting or fishing
or things like that again. So luckily

18
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.040
I had a couple of really good
friends that kind of pushed me and helped

19
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.439
me get into the outdoors again,
and we started finding adaptive equipment that was

20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.640
able to make it work. And
now we just do whatever we can to

21
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.719
enjoy the outdoors. And at one
point you served in the military as well,

22
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.519
Is that right? I did not
personally know. Oh, okay,

23
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.599
I was thinking is but but there
are some folks in your group that are

24
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.359
that are veterans, Is that right? Yeah? Definitely still help out anyone

25
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.799
from vet trends to children's pull disabilities
of all the day above. And this

26
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.760
is an organization that when when you
talk about, you know, helping people

27
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.560
locally, this is all local people
right now. This is like, you

28
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.599
know, literally getting started. This
is still fairly new, but it's a

29
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.199
brand new thing in the Sioux Falls
area. And if you're saying what can

30
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:14.319
I do to help people in this
area, Wheelchair Adventures is definitely a good

31
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.879
option because it's helping people right here
in this area, right. Yeah.

32
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.479
Absolutely, So with trying to get
people outdoors. We're also trying to start

33
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.159
a loan closet. So we've got
a couple of recumbent bikes now that we're

34
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.240
looking to borrow out to people,
as well as an adaptive kayak and a

35
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.680
couple other things. So yeah,
there's any kind of resources we can help

36
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.840
anybody with to get outdoors or anything
like that. If somebody would like to

37
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.800

do they find you? Guys? Is

they can help today, because today
is a simple way to help you literally

43
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.479

Yeah. Yes, a barrel house does

44
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.319
a really cool thing usually on Mondays. They set it up with some nonprofits.

45
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:24.599
So ten percent of all their proceeds
from food and including alcohol beverages,

46
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:30.240
we'll go back to our organization to
help us get outdoors again. So if

you're listening, to this going, dude,

is just have lunch at the Barrel
House, have dinner at the Barrelhouse,

51
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.039
go and have a drink after work
at the Barrelhouse. And when you do

52
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.520
