Move United Surpasses 5,000 Members in Two Years

A Movement Growing Stronger Every Day

 

We have incredible news to share: Move United has officially surpassed 5,000 individual members! This milestone represents more than just a number—it’s a testament to a growing community united by a shared passion for adaptive and inclusive sports and recreation.

 

The Move United Membership Network includes both individuals and organizations, but the individual membership option only officially launched less than two years ago. The response has been nothing short of extraordinary.

 

Remarkable Growth in Record Time

 

When we launched individual memberships on November 1, 2023, we were thrilled to welcome nearly 3,000 individuals in the first year alone. Now, in less than two years, 5,028 individuals are part of our thriving network.

 

Our members represent every corner of the adaptive sports community: athletes pushing their limits, parents cheering from the sidelines, dedicated coaches and teachers, medical providers and researchers advancing the field, students eager to learn, and countless others passionate about fostering the continued growth of adaptive and inclusive sports and recreation.

 

The Best Part? It’s Free!

 

That’s right—individual membership is completely free! We also offer a Premium Membership level with enhanced benefits for an annual fee of $75, but everyone can access our core membership at no cost.

Voices from Our Community

 

Ben Vondrak, an athlete who has competed in Move United Sanctioned Competitions, shares how membership has impacted his journey: “It has made me a better competitor and person, growing in my training and experience. Also, being able to be around people who are from areas of the country and being able to know people and competitors from around the country increases my mental ability and makes me faster and better.”

 

Tracy LaMarche, a premium member who received a travel grant to support her athletic endeavors, echoes this sentiment: “This was such an amazing opportunity and experience, and I can’t thank Move United enough for helping to make this happen! The Paralympic Time Trials was my first ever para-event, and I got to meet and ride with the athletes I’ve looked up to and learned from. To say that I’m hooked is an understatement… LA2028, I’m coming for you!”
