“I believe in the concept of paying it forward. Without the support and kindness of others, I would not have survived the car accident, relearned to walk, or won Paralympic Gold. It’s a privilege to give back.” - Meg Fisher
Meg’s Philanthropy Projects
Range of Motion Project
In October, 2020, Meg will join this fundraising event along with a team to climb Cotopaxi in Ecuador. The climb is made possible through the Range of Motion Project (ROMP) - a non-profit organization that helps those living in poverty or without medical access to get quality prosthetic care. The climb is to help raise awareness for prosthetic needs.
