Eric Thompson | Founder, Access on the Go
Access on the Go founder and West Virginia native, Eric Thompson has been an outdoor recreation enthusiast and passionate outdoorsman for a lifetime. After sustaining a spinal cord injury in 2012 leading to permanent paraplegia, he discovered the world of adaptive outdoor recreation. He also discovered the dismal lack of adaptive and accessible infrastructure in the Appalachian region. So, he decided that needed to change. For over a decade, Access On The Go has been transforming central Appalachia's outdoor recreation destinations into places where people of all abilities can experience the excitement of outdoor sports and explore the region's natural wonders. We are dedicated to working with our communities, small business, local governments, and citizens to make Appalachia a destination for all visitors and an accessible home for people of all abilities. |
