Christine Cronin
Wings of Eagles Ranch
Christine Cronin founded Wings of Eagles Ranch nearly 29 years ago, after a horse helped her son blossom physically, mentally, and emotionally. Today the ranch is a therapeutic riding center and outdoor adventure center. She has also spent 25 years working toward a dream of respite cabins for special needs families, and that dream is finally becoming real. Lake Norman designer Misty Molloy of CoCreative Interiors joins her to tell the story of how NARI’s Charlotte chapter, local builders, and dozens of volunteers brought five cabins to life.
