Meet an Athlete Ambassador

Andrew Harris is an avid runner and climber, enjoys movies, music, animals, and anything outdoors. He and his brother-in-law, Max Hammer, along with Andrew’s sister Amy, reached the Summit of the Grand Teton in August 2017; making Andrew the first person with Down syndrome to do so! Andrew, Max, and Amy believe there are no limits to what Andrew can accomplish and with the opportunity, he can do anything he puts his mind to.
