LAS VEGAS - July 31, 2017 - PRLog -- SPORTS 'N SPOKES, the sports and recreation magazine of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), has teamed up with the Spina Bifida Association and Cure Medical, a leading manufacturer of intermittent catheters, to encourage people with disabilities to "Get Out & Enjoy Life".

Now in its' seventh year, the 2017 GOEL event kicks off on August 1, 2017, with a photo contest and prize giveaways for participants. SPORTS 'N SPOKES, Spina Bifida Association and Cure Medical social media pages will feature a daily listing of accessible vacation spots, outdoors programs, and other events.  Collectively, these social media pages reach more than 250,000 people per week who use wheelchairs or those who care for someone who does.

"Community is important to the Spina Bifida Association and its constituents. The Get Out, Enjoy Life program fits well with SBA's goals to develop a stronger, close-knit community and highlight how people with Spina Bifida go beyond all limits.  This is the perfect opportunity for our community members to connect with and encourage each other to have an active summer! I'm looking forward to seeing how people with Spina Bifida spend their vacations," SBA President & CEO Sara Struwe says.

This year's GOEL theme is all about travel everywhere your heart desires to go regardless of your paralysis, using the slogan of SUMMER TOUR, 2017!  The program will spotlight activities like adaptive sports, accessible amusement parks, inclusive vacation spots and other unique travel outings across the United States.
