At 17, a life-changing snowboard accident left Alana paralyzed. Overnight, her imagined future disappeared - but this was just the beginning of an extraordinary chapter. Through adaptive sports, she rediscovered her purpose and confidence, going on to make history across three different sports: wheelchair basketball, alpine skiing, and paracanoe. 🏀⛷️🚣♀️
To every young person facing challenges or living with a disability, Alana has a powerful reminder: "Your struggles do not limit your potential. You belong. You matter. You don’t need to know exactly how your story ends. You just need to take the next step!"
"To me, Variety is about possibility. It’s about making sure that a child’s future isn’t determined by their circumstances, diagnosis, or access to resources... I know firsthand how one piece of adaptive equipment, one opportunity, one mentor, or one act of support can completely change the trajectory of a person’s life."
Please join us in welcoming Alana to the Variety family! Together, we’re breaking down barriers and helping children worldwide live without limits. 🌍❤️

My first ocean barrel, in competition, with a whole world of adaptive surfers on the beach cheering…On my grandmas birthday... It feels like all the stars AND the moon AND the ocean all aligned for me today... I’m just like beyond cloud 9 😭☁️ 🌊 so grateful.
It’s not lost on me how lucky we are to surf at the iconic Huntington Beach pier either. Thank you to the crew that is absolutely crushing this event and whose support of the adaptive surfing movement has made a world of difference.
Feeling the love and support of my sponsors today and know I couldn’t do this, what I love, without you. Thank you
