” The Hartford Athlete Equipment Grant allowed me to get a new racing wheelchair which I use daily. It allowed me to have properly fitting equipment which is the difference between being in pain and being comfortable. My new racing chair is comfortable enough to use every day and brings me lots of joy. It has allowed me to be nationally competitive.” – Linden Williamson (2025 Texas Parasport Games Grant Awardee)
