Ms. Que Banh<p>My start to para-sailing & getting re-certified for White Sails is delayed because of my dental extractions & not knowing how healing will go. I can't really start my lessons/training until I learn to talk with my immediate dentures, after final extractions. Hoping to schedule for mid-July but shall see how post-extraction healing & learning to eat/talk with dentures go.</p><p>I'm really excited though. Been wanting to get back into para-sailing since before covid. Our old program shutdown & Disabled Sailing Victoria disbanded, shortly after we lost our old homebase at CFB Naden because navy was expanding & kicked us out 😔</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AbleSail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbleSail</span></a> Victoria started up & offers recreational fun <a href="https://beige.party/tags/sailing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sailing</span></a> experiences for <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DisabledFolks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabledFolks</span></a> who just want to enjoy being out on the water, with an experienced sailor. It also offers lessons/training for us disabled folks who want to get certified & be able to race in future regattas.</p><p>I've been participating in several different <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ParaSports" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParaSports</span></a> for a few decades. I competed in para-equestrian up to national levels for a few years & also did competitions with non-disabled equestrians. I played sledge hockey for just under 3 yrs & used to help injured NHL hockey players keep up their conditioning, while they also learned how tough sledge hockey is. I've done adaptive biathlons as well.</p><p>I refuse to let my <a href="https://beige.party/tags/disabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilities</span></a> stop me from living a full, active & joyful life. I will adapt & keep rocking life & looking for more adaptive sports opportunities, for as long as possible!</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PeopleWithDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeopleWithDisabilities</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BreakingDisabilityStigmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BreakingDisabilityStigmas</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ParaAthletes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParaAthletes</span></a></p>
