The Challenged Athletes Foundation supports the athletic efforts of individuals with physical challenges. Rather than focusing on disability, this organization focuses on the abilities of athletes with physical challenges in order to create acceptance and respect.

Challenged Athletes Foundation

What sports and fitness activities do you participate in? Do you require any adaptations for physical challenges?

This is a great foundation. Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Andreas Johansson, as he trekked across the US on an ElliptiGo (bike that you stand up on) raising funds for the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Andreas also did a fantastic job of raising awareness of CMT every where he went.

Melinda, I had the privilege of a visit from Andreas as well. I agree - He was an inspiration! I wrote about Andreas about a year ago:

Andreas and His CMT Challenge

Although Andreas Johansson suffers from the progressive neuromuscular disease Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT), he has not let that stop him from pursuing his dreams. Coming to the United States from Sweden, he embarked upon a trek across the U.S. on an EliptiGO, a self-powered eliptical style scooter.
