Aaron Fotheringham
This year, the Friendship Circle is proud to present Aaron Fotheringham on the main stage. Aaron was born with Spina Bifida and has been wheelchair bound for most of his life. Aaron has taken on an extraordinary life as a professional wheelchair athlete, specifically bmx style tricks. Aaron will be attempting a back-flip and other stunts at the walk, encouraging all of our disabled neighbors that disabilities can be transformed into extraordinary abilities. Modern Skate and Surf’s skate team will also be hosting a skating clinic in between Aaron’s shows.
