These opportunities provide people of all abilities the chance to bond and participate together. It gives them a platform and a voice to bond in a rapid and authentic way with their community. It helps our community see beyond the wheelchair and into the heart of the individual!
Most Urgent Need: Funding to support our inclusive training and racing events. The experience is completely free for our Captains (athletes with disabilities). myTEAM TRIUMPH provides all the specialized race equipment, maintenance on the chairs, race registration fees and hospitality for the athletes and their families on race day.
