The Never Say Never Foundation was established in 2010 by Nick Stilwell and Regas Woods after they met during Nick’s first prosthetic fitting. Regas lost his leg at the age of two, while Nick was 25 when he became an amputee. They formed a strong bond over their shared desire to help other amputees live life to the fullest. Their mission is to assist children and young adults facing challenges to overcome adversity with a positive attitude, emphasizing that with determination, anything is possible.
Over the past decade, Nick and Regas have developed Never Say Never into a respected organization dedicated to helping kids and athletes reach their full potential. They also host one of the most sought-after fully funded adaptive sports camps in the United States.
Every October, Never Say Never hosts an adaptive sailing camp (Pirate Camp) in Clearwater, Florida. Families are invited to bring all members of their family for a weekend of fun in the sun on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This camp gives limb-different children an opportunity to try activities they may have never imagined that they can do and gives their parents and siblings an opportunity to see them and others like them succeed, all while working and playing together. This camp is put on at no cost to the families, all funds are raised by Never Say Never throughout the year.
