As a part of our Warriors In Motion fundraiser currently taking place on Indiegogo, we have decided to bring light to International Women’s Day with our fundraising campaign!

By Caroline Lynch, ASF Volunteer and Warriors in Motion Coordinator In late October, ASF staff and volunteers, as well as several wounded warriors, took on one of the toughest events of the summer season, the Tough Mudder.

By Rachel Cohen Interning with the Adaptive Sports Foundation has been the experience of a lifetime. After graduating with a business degree and then living abroad, I was still unsure about what I wanted to do. A typical office job has never really inspired me and I’ve always liked helping people. I was introduced to […]

…and we’re hanging tough. The weather is absolutely gorgeous (I have lots of pics, just can’t get them posted, Internet is too slow and spotty). It’s been completely clear with lots of sun and the snow is good. We free skied and did drills the first two days and trained GS today. We had some […]

We’ve just returned from dinner and are preparing to hit the slopes tomorrow. It would have been too much to expect for my flights to work out as planned. For the first time, we were trying out having me fly from Albany to meet up with Staci in Newark (her home airport). Yeah, how’d that […]
