Valley Life for All is building inclusive communities, one voice at a time. Tim was 19 years old when he suffered a cervical spinal cord injury while skiing. This hasn't come between him and his love of being in nature. Inspired by organizations that helped him and opened his eyes to the positive side of life, he founded Return to Dirt, an organization that aims to make anyone backcountry capable.

Tim’s Story is brought to you by Bank of Colorado.

Raleigh Burleigh
Raleigh Burleigh was raised in the historic floodplanes of Satank. The Carbondale Rotary Club sponsored him as a youth ambassador to Chile the year before his graduation from Roaring Fork High School. He studied International Affairs and Journalism at the University of Colorado, Boulder then applied those studies traveling throughout South America the following year. Returning to Carbondale thereafter, Raleigh acquired an internship with KDNK News which led to the opportunity to serve as News Director from 2017 to 2019. After another trip to South America in early 2019, Raleigh Burleigh drew deeper into the confluence as Program Director at KDNK. Raleigh now serves on KDNK's board of directors and as editor of Carbondale's weekly newspaper, The Sopris Sun.
