Newark, Delaware is the home of a hunting and outdoors television program with a twist. You see “Able Outdoors” will be hosted by Bill Brice. If you look at Bill he looks as healthy as the next guy, but looks are quite deceiving. Bill has been battling heart disease since he was 18 years old. Bill has had quite a few pacemakers and pacemaker / defibrillators and was diagnosed in 1999 with Dilated cardiomyopathy, which the American Heart Association explains. “Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form. In it, the heart cavity is enlarged and stretched (cardiac dilation). The heart is weak and doesn’t pump normally”.
Wikipedia says “Healthy individuals typically have ejection fractions greater than 0.55.” Bill’s ejection fraction or (Ef) is 0.11. And yet it does not seem to stop him from chasing his dream. Able Outdoors will be filling a void in outdoors television, shows may have a disable hunt on occasionally but, Bill is
quite adamant about saying that “once in a while just does not cut it.”
Their needs to be a show that shows the issues that a disabled person has when they try to do what a lot of people may not understand or know about – that is just getting outdoors no matter what the weather.
This show will be an inspiration to the disabled as well as the able-bodied community. It is Bill’s dream to let the disabled person, whether man, woman or child, know that if they want a dream to come true and they do their best, then they will be “ABLE” to achieve their goals too.
The show will be aired on WMCN – TV Atlantic City / Philadelphia. In PA, NJ, and DE in over 2.1 Million homes. Check your local listings.
Able Outdoors is still in search of a few more sponsors to make this come true. If you wish to be a sponsor on Able Outdoors or just want to help, contact Bill or one of the staff of Able Outdoors at: Bill@AbleOutdoors.com or call (302) 368-1378
