Life Changing events.

There is no doubt that my Spinal Cord Injury has changed my life dramatically.  Lost is my ability to walk easily, run, bike, work many of the jobs available to me.  Due to this injury fitness options were limited. I was dependent on  pool availability and transportation. Going for a walk hurt so much, that it was not enjoyable. My inability to wander to the park on my own left me longing for a way to get out on nice days and to really enjoy them.

This handcycle has also changed my life dramatically.  Since its arrival, I have used it daily. I have traveled all over my old running routes. Rode alone. I have ridden with a friend. Nice weather, bad weather, and  a little on the trainer. The handcycle has given me so much. I am so grateful to CAF for my grant award.
