As a child born with Spina Bifida growing up in Patten in northern Maine, Enock Glidden 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. He was able to travel across the United States and visit some of our most cherished outdoor spaces including many national parks. He is now on a mission to get people of all abilities outdoors in the state of Maine. Through his work with Maine Trail Finder, he is showcasing all the amazing outdoor spaces available to people while also helping to improve access. He will speak at the Lumberman’s Museum on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 6 p.m.
