Whether it is to play recreationally at the neighbourhood court, or to train and compete competitively on the world stage, one of the biggest obstacles that stands between sport and people with disabilities is the high cost of adaptive sport equipment.
- Basketball isn’t about just a ball and a net anymore, it includes a $7,500 sports chair.
- Cycling is more than a two-wheeler, it can mean a $10,000 handcycle.
- Playing hockey doesn’t call for a pair of hand-me-down skates, it needs a $1,500 sledge.
That’s exactly what our Play to Podium Fund does. With your support we get people with a disability the equipment they need to get in the game for fun, fitness and friendships.
