Challenged Athletes Foundation's offers financial support to athletes with disabilities. Last year, they awarded me a $1,000 scholarship so that I could train with Walter Zettl and so that I could meet some of the expenses in training for WEG. I have applied for a scholarship again this year to help train again. If you are a disabled athlete, they are a great resource. They are based in California and have expanded to Florida also.
The mission of CAF is: "to provide opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. CAF believes that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life."
