Welcome to Adapt4Action. We built this site to be a resource for information and a place to share and learn about adaptive sports and the people who do them. We hope to create a space that feels as much like a home as a destination. Toward that end, we turn to you, our community, to help us to provide a resource that will be inspiring, useful and friendly.

Despite his physical changes, Brennan decided to focus on what�s possible in his life, not what�s deemed impossible. As such,tag heuer replica watches he has chosen to focus his attention on participating in the 2014 Winter Paralympic Games. In what sport you may ask; skiing! Thanks to state-of-the-art skis allowing participants to sit while navigating the slopes, Brennan�s wish to compete is within reach.
