Thank You for Your Incredible Support!
Thanks to your generosity this Give to the Max Day, we raised over $9,745 to keep Trail by Reach rolling strong. 🚐💙
Because of you, riders like Mikey, Gretchen, Jeff, Laura, and Filmore can continue accessing the rides that help them stay connected, confident, and independent. Every dollar you gave helps cover the true cost of transportation, turning everyday rides into moments of freedom, friendship, and joy.
From all of us at Reach for Resources, thank you for helping us go the extra mile. You’ve made a lasting difference in the lives of adults with disabilities across our community.

Meet Our Riders
Meet a few of our Trail by Reach riders and discover how Trail makes a difference in their lives.
Mikey
Meet Mikey, a fun-loving, high-energy guy whose favorite sport is bowling. His best score? 210! Mikey is all about having a good time, and bowling helps him stay active, make friends, and get out into the community.
While Mikey’s parents often help with rides, life gets busy. That’s where Trail Transportation comes in. Mikey has been practicing using Trail to get to bowling when his family isn’t available and it’s made a big difference.
Laura
“Trail is access to freedom and growth… opportunity and joy,” says Laura’s sister, Heather.
Laura relies on Trail to stay active, healthy, and connected. Opportunities to get out can sometimes be limited, but luckily Trail provides the transportation needed to learn, exercise, and socialize, essential ingredients for her happiness and well-being.
Filmore
For Filmore, the ride is just as meaningful as the destination. Whether it’s bowling or Movies & Munchies, Trail keeps him active, social, and connected, building friendships and independence along the way.
Filmore’s mom, Kathy, says:
“We think Trail is absolutely fabulous. The ride itself is as important as the activity he’s going to. He makes friends on the van. It’s a big part of his life now.”
Gretchen
For Gretchen, Trail is more than a ride; it’s a rhythm of connection, empowerment, and joy. For over 25 years, she has been part of the Trail community, attending ARLE events and recreation programs in Richfield, Bloomington, and Edina. Last year, she took 126 rides!
Her brother Ryne says, “Trail has helped Gretchen live with greater independence and joy. The activities she participates in create a rhythm of connection and empowerment that enriches her daily life.”
