A Session Highlight:
On Sunday, ADD coach Michael Sandler will share the experiences of riding his bicycle 5000 miles across the country in search of peace and understanding while spreading a message of succeeding with ADD. He began in Portland, Oregon and forty days and 50 flats later pulled into Washington D.C. to talk with legislators about Attention Deficit Disorder. Along the way he met with thousands of people, performed dozens of interviews, and helped raise awareness through local and national T.V. spots. Using stories, anecdotes, and humor, Michael shares his mishaps, misadventures, lessons, and enlightenment gained during this American ADD adventure and time on Capitol Hill.
Exercise Opportunity:
Terry Dickson, MD will be leading early morning power walks around the resort, with the picturesque foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains as a backdrop.
