I’ve been a part of Youth Challenge for 33 years. In that time, I’ve had so many incredible opportunities. Every sport or activity you’ve ever done, Youth Challenge probably does it too, but they go the extra mile and do it better.  Youth Challenge shows the community that just because we may look different due to our individual disabilities, we’re the same as everyone else. I’ve learned so many life lessons through this program and made lifelong friendships along the way.
