How will your contribution make an impact?

A contribution to the Move United Nationals will enhance the quality of the experience for athletes and help offset the cost of developing, planning, promoting, and coordinating the event, which exceeds $250,000. Your support will transform lives and help make the event a reality for athletes like Dr. Cheri Blauwet.

Dr. Cheri Blauwet sustained a spinal cord injury in a farming accident at the age of 16 months near her home in a small Iowa town. It wasn’t until 8th grade that she discovered sports. She attended Junior Nationals and as a result learned how to travel independently and began to be her own person.

“Adaptive sports absolutely changed my life and shaped me into the person I am today. Looking to the future – we need to ensure that all young people with disabilities have these opportunities for growth and discovery.”
– Dr. Cheri Blauwet, Paralympian
