Since getting more involved in adaptive sports, I have met some amazing people like U.S. wheelchair tennis Paralympian Kaitlyn Verfuerth and Quad Rugby (aka "Murderball") player Mike DeYoung. They are incredibly inspiring.
In the attached picture, I am in a huddle with my Lady Warrior teammates. Kaitlyn is on the far left and I am on the far right. Our amazing coach, Alma, is in the center "gesticulating" (-: . I get in trouble for standing up in my chair during the games. I try not to do it, have even strapped my leg down to remind myself not to, but my instincts get the better of me when shooting... and well, that's considered a foul in wheelchair basketball!


Jo,
BenWhen we were at the Endeavor Games we watched some vollyball and wheelchair basketball, it was incredible to watch. Ben really enjoyed our time at the games, it was good for him to see all the others and ALL THEY could do!
Thank you for the welcome to the site.
