  • "Being an athlete with WASA has allowed me the freedom to appreciate my body for what it can do instead of focusing on how I feel it limits me. I didn't start playing sports until I was 28, but I can imagine my childhood self-esteem issues wouldn't have been so severe had I participated in adaptive sports sooner."

    Rebecca R. | Wheelchair Lacrosse Athlete

  • "Adaptive Sports have improved my daughter’s well being and has benefited our entire family’s happiness."

    A Proud Papa

  • "WASA gives me the opportunity to socialize with other people with similar disabilities. Sometimes in life there are times when it seems like you are the only one who is disabled, which can cause you to feel isolated. Being around others who are going through the same struggles can make this life a little easier –

  • "WASA allows me to see the world and possibilities differently. As a volunteer, I get to see who my patients are, and what they can be part of outside of my world of physical therapy and spinal cord injury. It helps me at work to see my patients as a whole and help them to bridge the gap of participating in meaningful areas of life after their injury."

    Kelly K | Physical Therapist | WASA Volunteer

  • "WASA allows me to keep an active and healthy lifestyle and feel confident in my appearance and abilities, learning how to be as independent as possible, giving me a voice in the community, and a forever network of friends and role models to lean on when times are tough."
