Bretton Woods, New Hampshire — One pullover forever changed the life of a Long Island police officer.

During what was expected to be a routine pullover, it was discovered that the driver was using a revoked license. The driver shot Officer Tuthill in the face. This resulted in Kenyon losing his eyesight. However, he’s found purpose thanks to the joy of skiing.

A segment from WMUR’s NH Chronicle shows how New England Disabled Sports helps out people like Kenyon Tuthill. For the past 15 years, Kenyon has been skiing with New England Disabled Sports. Led by guide Jack Daly Jr., Kenyon is able to make his way down the slope without any issues.

It’s a pretty cool video to watch, as it shows the importance of disabled sports organizations in the ski and outdoor industries.
