Volunteer Spotlight - Summer - Nancy!

Nancy just started volunteering at Positive Strides last year! She moved to Greensboro (from Wellesley, MA) in September 2023 and luckily (lucky for us!) “discovered” Positive Strides early in 2024.

Nancy grew up in a small urban town in New Jersey named West New York. She says, "I must have explained that name thousands of times". The town is right on the Hudson River directly across from Manhattan. 

Some of Nancy's favorite past times include tennis, downhill skiing, hiking, biking, kayaking and swimming and these are her  favorite sports. She also enjoys gardening, cooking, reading, volunteering and spending time with family and friends.

Another of the things Nancy loves to do is travel! We asked, "I know you travel, can you name a place you think is a MUST go?" She answered, "This is a difficult question because the world is filled with so many wonderful places! In the US I suggest the magnificent Utah National Parks, especially Bryce Canyon. Outside the US I recommend Seville, Spain. It’s amazing!

When asked about her favorite horse at Positive Strides, she remarked that they are all lovely but she has a soft spot for Pumpkin. 

If she had a song for Positives Strides, it would be "Beautiful Day" by U2.

Asked about volunteering at Positive Strides, she most enjoys the opportunity to work with the exceptional people who run the program, the enthusiastic riders and the hard-working, cheerful volunteers.

Thank you, Nancy for all you do!
