Last fall I sent a grant request to the Challenged Athlete Foundation in the hopes that I would be able to get a handcycle. Yesterday I received notification that I have been approved for the equipment. With it I will be able to compete in some marathons and triathlons. I am excited to start training and picking out races for the future. Mostly I am excited for the ability to head out on regular solitary adventures. I am excited to climb hills, sweat, feel the sun and to enjoy the freedom I haven't enjoyed outside of water since my spinal cord injury.
I am very grateful to CAF and look forward to representing them as I develop into a hand-cyclist. This is a formal announcement that this blog has begun a new chapter.

Wow that's a nice bike. I am hoping to get a CAF grant for one too.
