Geoff Babb | Advenchair

February Member Spotlight

Geoff Babb, Founder of AdvenChair, is an inspiration to all through his ingenuity, passion and commitment to getting outdoors. When a near-fatal brain stem stroke left him in a wheelchair and with only limited use of one hand; Geoff was determined to get back to doing what he loves and was sit-skiing with the help of Oregon Adaptive Sports and adaptive horseback riding through Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center. However, he immediately discovered that the biggest obstacle to experiencing the great outdoors with his family again was not so much his rigid body, but his inflexible wheelchair. In comes the conception of AdvenChair and a new chapter for Geoff and others to roll boldy.
