One of Healing Winds’ nominees, Karen Newman, came to share how Healing Winds gave her and her family hope and a sense of joy on her sail right here on Lake Champlain. Karen is an inspiration to people all over the world. As an Olympic Champion, public speaker, wife, mother and cancer survivor, she captivated the crowd with her version of what Healing Winds means to her.

Teams of up to four people were created for the four hour REV-a-thon. People as far away as Montreal came to participate in this meaningful and touching event. Teams were encouraged to dress up, be silly, ride solo if they so chose, and most of all have a blast! Prizes were given throughout the day and massages were donated from Living Well Center for Integrated Health.
