RISE Adaptive Sports, a non-profit action sports organization says their mission is to assist persons with physical challenges to recover, inspire, succeed, and empower themselves and others by providing inclusive adaptive recreational sports programs. They neglected to mention heart-pounding adrenaline rushes and Texas-style revelry.
Our take: Organizations like RISE Adaptive Sports are critical, as they give people with disabilities – both young and old – the confidence to actively participate in society and push the boundaries of possibility. With so many sports and activities – including wheelchair skating, rugby, kayaking, handcycling, fishing, swimming, parasailing and more – there is clearly an event or opportunity for everyone!
