Most people are not athletes. And that is usually by choice. But some, don’t have that choice, but if they did, they would choose to be athletes. With YOUR help, The Kyle Pease Foundation helps them be the athletes they want to be.
It isn’t about the race shirt or medal. Research has shown that an in-chair athlete experiences the same rush of endorphins their push-assist athlete does. More significant is that they and their families get to be like everyone else for a moment! Parents and loved ones get to cheer on their athletes just like everyone else. In-chair athletes get to say, “I did that!” KPF provides a sense of normalcy for those moments that these families do not get anywhere else as well as additional social networking opportunities that families with disabilities often struggle to fit in.
When I decided to run The Dopey Challenge as a charity runner, I wanted to be sure to pick a charity that was close to my heart…. And here we are. KPF is all about inclusion. And I feel inclusion for people dealing with significant medical disabilities, such Cerebral Palsy, is often overlooked and overshadowed by most inclusion efforts. KPF support might “start” with sports and supporting athletes - but goes so far beyond that.
