Dreamplex’s efforts to establish adaptive sports opportunities in 2019 included the aspiration to offer track & field opportunities through clinics offered to all children. In 2020, a small group of physically disabled children participated for the first time, and a larger clinic was held in 2022 with the help of Challenged Athletes Foundation and experienced coaches and athletes including Daniel Romanchuk.

Dreamplex has discovered that offering adaptive track & field events is most challenged by not having adequate equipment. Unlike other sports, track & field equipment, especially racing chairs, have a critical need to have custom adjustments made to each child before they adapt and learn to grow in the sport. The chairs are more complex to operate so before children can learn to race, they must fit comfortably into a racing chair which varies by each individual's physical disabilities and limitations. We aim to grow our supply of equipment, including racing chairs and field implements, so that a more diverse group of children and adults can participate and compete in this sport.

This fundraiser also supports our current Dreamplex Adaptive Sports team in their efforts to attend regional and national track & field competitions in the spring and summer of 2025. Support raised will go towards uniforms, travel expenses, and registration fees for both local competitions and the Move United Nationals being held in Michigan in July 2025.

Thank you for your support of our athletes and coaches!
