See their Vision. Support the Cause.

Overcoming substantial physical challenges like loss of vision, loss of limb, cerebral palsy, & spina bifida, our athletes dedicate their lives to the goal of bringing home a medal for the US. Help support these 8 track & field para-athletes fulfill their dream to represent the US at the Paralympic Games in Rio 2016. Their next competition to reach this goal is the US Paralympic Championships June 19th - 21st. These athletes  receive no funding to get them there. National Athletic Institute, a non-profit organization committed to providing support to US track & field athletes,  has committed to match any contribution (up to our goal) raised for this campaign. Join us and donate to help cover travel costs to enable these deserving athletes to compete at the Paralympic Championships in only 4 weeks! Every dollar counts, please donate today!
