Mission Statement

2LIV4 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to empower the disability community to discover their something 2LIV4 by providing scholarships for adaptive adventures and equipment, and sharing impactful stories and resources.

Description

The founder and vice president of 2LIV4 knows firsthand what it is to face physical and cognitive challenges. Greg Cooley was a red-headed, freckle-faced 13-year-old who did backflips and captured tadpoles with his bare hands at every water hole in the neighborhood until a car accident sheared his brain stem and caused a basal skull fracture. He spent several months in a coma followed by rehab to relearn the most basic skills, like how to breathe, crawl, eat, walk, and even talk again. Through support, courage, resilience, and fortitude, Greg graduated from Metropolitan State University in Denver and went on to have a 20-year career in the oil and gas industry.

He continues to live life to the fullest and feels like he always has something 2LIV4. His adventures have included skiing, skydiving, scuba diving, rock climbing, and kayaking. He is dedicated to helping others with physical and cognitive challenges live life to the fullest through 2LIV4's adaptive equipment and adventure scholarships.
