2024 Adaptive Sports Calendar Highlights the Power of Sport
Move United uses the power of sport to push what’s possible for people with disabilities, confronting ignorance, fueling conversation, and inciting action that leads us to a world where everyone’s included. As the largest adaptive sports organization in the country, Move United serves over 125,000 youth, wounded warriors and adults annually through more than 225 Move United member organizations in 45 states and the District of Columbia.
Over 70 different adaptive sports are offered across the country, including alpine and Nordic skiing, snowboarding, sled hockey, wheelchair basketball, golf, cycling, swimming, scuba, track & field, archery, climbing, hiking, and more. To highlight the various adaptive sports available, Move United has produced the 2024 Adaptive Sports Calendar which features various athletes and adaptive sports, a listing of Move United members across the country, and other resources and information.
Move United solicited images through a nationwide photo contest. After receiving nearly over 100 submissions, 13 entries were selected for this year’s calendar. Photographers include Matt Didisheim, Scott Paulus, Elly Wray, John Thompson, Tim Brown, Jacob Myhre, Mireya Acierto, Bryan Hill, Marc-Gregor Campredon, Sergio Errigo, Keith Arimura, Joe Kusumoto, and Reed Hoffmann. Featured athletes include Lonnie Bedwell, a Navy veteran who is blind and recently summited Mount Everest, University of Michigan Wheelchair Basketball Players Stephen Tinnin and Jerome Montgomery, Emma Jundt, Nicky Maxwell, and other youth, wounded warfighters and adults with physical disabilities.
Move United knows the way people view disability is far from reality. This calendar was developed to help shift the narrative and redefine what disability looks like. Sports make us more—more determined, more powerful, more ourselves. And they show the world what we can do. To download your free electronic copy of the 2024 Adaptive Sports Calendar, click here.
