Creating inclusive opportunities for youth and adults who use mobility devices by closing the adaptive equipment gap and collaborating with community partners.

ALWAYS FINDING
A WAY

At the intersection of ability and aspiration, Endless Highway collaborates with community partners, families, and donors to help children and adults realize their recreational and creative goals. From custom equipment to all-access museum trips to adaptive yoga seminars — we find a way.

Building Community

We connect people who use mobility devices to exciting experiences, families to financial and physical resources, and businesses to a more inclusive mission.

Dreaming is for everyone

Through sponsorship, custom fittings, program development, community training, crowdfunding and more, we’re equipping children and adults with the tools and opportunities necessary to pursue their passions.

RACING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

A custom-fitted racing chair was just what Shea needed to level up his training with the Rochester Rookies, as younger athletes are able to discover wheelchair track and field with the help of his old chair. See Shea’s first moments with his new chair.

Strengthening competition

When the Rochester Rockets youth wheelchair basketball season started, Buffalo-native Emily had to check it out. She began dreaming of playing basketball in a bright pink sports chair on a team closer to home. Check out the latest competition, the Buffalo Rims.

PUSHING A FAMILY FORWARD

Support for your child’s dreams can be just as important as their own determination. A custom racing chair helped Tyler find his comfort zone and confidence while excelling at a new sport. Hear more about the impact of a chair, sport, and dream from his parents.

The Interview Process: Leveraging Personal and Lived Experience

My name is Nico Santiago. I am an industrial design student going into my senior year at Rochester Institute of Technology. I’m currently learning how to go through the interview process, write a targeted resume, and build a portfolio. My dream is to one day own a small industrial design firm focused on creating products for people with disabilities. Growing up with Congenital Myasthenia Gravis (CMG) taught me that the world was not designed for people like me. Today, I’ll share some tips and insights on how to communicate lived experience as an advantage during internship or job interviews.
