BETHEL — As a child born with Spina Bifida growing up in Patten, a small town in northern Maine, Enock had to learn to do things differently than others, but with the use of adaptive equipment and help from friends and family, he has had a very full life. Having had the opportunity to experience a lot of things that people with two working legs may not even try, he now resides in Bethel, and is an avid skier, rock climber, and participates in many other sports. These sports include tennis, basketball, paragliding, and skydiving.

Through an internship related to his studies in computer science, he was able to travel across the United States and visit some of our most cherished outdoor spaces, including many national parks. He culminated his internship experience in California with a 5-day ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. It is because of all of these experiences that he has made it his life’s mission to speak to anyone and everyone about never saying ‘I can’t’ and instead always asking: ‘How can I?’

The program will take place at Narramissic in South Bridgton on Wednesday, August 17 from 6-8 p.m. For more information, please contact BHS at 207-647-3699.
