We've Lived This.

Seventeen years of my life were defined by one word: athlete. Then, a single moment on a wrestling mat changed my reality. After my spinal cord injury, I wasn't just learning to live again; I was trying to find the person I was.

I eventually found my way back to sport, but the journey was a brutal maze of dead ends and frustration. I saw how many people were being locked out.

Adapt To Life was born from a simple, furious conviction: a person's access to the joy and power of sport should never depend on luck. We're building the pathway I wish I had.
