The Challenged Athletes Foundation mission is clear: give those with the desire to live active, competitive lifestyles every opportunity to compete in the sports they love.

They provide grants for prosthetics, equipment, and specialized training to athletes of any age and gender, for any physical challenge, and for any sport, including archery, mountain climbing, soccer, baseball, surfing and cycling! To fund these grants, CAF hosts cycling events, including the San Diego TRI Challenge. And the interaction at these events with other Challenged Athletes who have overcome unimaginable obstacles is truly inspiring!

I never imagined that every aspect of my life would be forever changed by an industrial accident. I am grateful that CAF was there to help with my goals, and I entered the 2022 San Diego Community Challenge to help CAF support other athletes with their goals!

You can help Challenged Athletes as well! By making a donation towards my fundraising target you will help provide physically challenged individuals the tools necessary to find success in sports - and in life!
