Quality of Life grant helps sailors

With the announcement of the Reeve Foundation's 1st cycle 2011 Quality of Life Grant recipients, we are pleased to be getting feedback from some of the grantees.

Here is what the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta has been doing.


For the second time in its nine-year history, the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Regatta is the beneficiary of a grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The foundation awards grant monies to non-profit organizations in recognition of programs that enable people with disabilities to live independent and active lives. The Quality of Life grant underscores the mission of the C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta which was created to allow sailors with disabilities to reach their personal competitive goals, which in turn has a direct impact on their quality of life.

“It [The Clagett] has really improved my quality of life, my independence, and what I’m going to do with the rest of my life,” said Jody Hill (Seabrook, Texas). A professional yacht skipper before his spinal cord injury in 2006, Hill frankly admits that during his first two years post-injury he was depressed and getting into trouble. That changed once he found he could get back on the water and his appearance at the 2010 Clagett Regatta was his second-ever disabled sailing race. “It’s just been a real boost for me mentally and physically.”

Read the rest.
