IM ABLE Foundation







New to the Corps Fitness and Got the Nerve? scene is the IM ABLE Foundation. This endeavor aims to help disabled children become more active by exposing them to fitness equipment such as handcycles that they can operate regardless of their limitations. In addition the foundation wants to create more understanding and acceptance from able-bodied children so they feel more comfortable dealing with their disabled counterparts. Showing able bodied children that disabled children can be as active as them will help the bond between the two groups. We will be holding demonstrations with the newly purchased hand cycles and will be showcasing the abilities of all the kids at our November 17th Inaugural Gala Kickoff. If you are interested in getting your disabled or able bodied child on a handcycle or would like to join us at the Gala please email Chris at chris@gotthenerve.org.
