    Virtual sailing program helps people living with disability
    By JLo   
    Here's a great piece from CNN I wanted to share with the community.

    Watch this video about a virtual sailing program at Kennedy Krieger Institute that is helping those living with spinal cord injuries to gain back strength and self-confidence through sailing.

    Check out the video!

    CNN did a great job with the story. We are working on creating a virtual sailing program in Dexter, MI (just west of Ann Arbor) using the VSail-Trainer like the Kennedy Krieger Institute uses.

    Our local Patch.com site just posted a story on the project, Virtual Sailing Program Helps People With Disabilities
