Another successful year… We couldn't be prouder to support Ian’s Ride!
On June 4, 2008, everything changed for Ian Mackay.
While riding his bike home from the University of California, Santa Cruz, Ian lost control and struck a tree. The crash left him with a high-level spinal cord injury and life as a quadriplegic.
What could have been the end of his journey became the beginning of a new one. After four years of recovery, Ian rediscovered his love for the outdoors—and with the aid of his powered wheelchair, he found freedom again. From trails to coastlines, he has logged over 10,000 miles on his wheelchair, proving that no barrier can keep him from moving forward.
But Ian’s ride isn’t just his own. He has become a champion for accessibility, creating events that bring disabled individuals together to experience the joy of the outdoors. His mission: to inspire others to embrace adventure, resilience, and inclusion.
This week, Ian returns to the Olympic Discovery Trail for his capstone event—Sea to Sound, a 74-mile, three-day expedition through Washington State. We couldn’t be prouder to support an individual who has turned tragedy into triumph, continuing to show us all what it means to live without limits.
