Saturday, 01/24/09. Campland on the Bay, Mission Bay, San Diego, CA, USA. Ryan Levison (c) greets outrigger paddling outrigger canoe instructor Nicole Holbrook as Carlito Butalip (L) looks on during an event sponsorded by the Challenged Athletes Foundation that Levinson was primarily responsible for organizing. The participants had the opportunity to try several different paddle sports. The Challenged Athletes Foundation established the Operation Rebound fund to provide sports opportunities and support for troops, veterans and first responders who have suffered permanent physical injuries in the line of duty. Butalip is missing his right leg and Levinson - an accomplished triatholon, cyclist and waterman - has FSH Muscular Dystrophy (FSHMD), an incurable, untreatable, muscle-wasting disorder.
