These are the stories of courageous people who refuse to accept a limited life. These are the stories of lives changed by disabilities that have turned into opportunities. At Adaptive Star, our goal is never to tell anyone "no" or "you can't do that".
At the core of our being, we believe that no one should tell themselves this either. We believe in the power of each of our family members and athletes. They're refusing to be defined by a diagnosis and repainting the canvas of their lives.
