Innovation in 5: Empower Yourself to Live an Active and Engaged Life

Living an active lifestyle has wide-ranging benefits, including better mental and physical health. However, people with physical disabilities experience unique obstacles, and it can be difficult to decide which adaptive activities are right for you. The Kelly Brush Foundation is dedicated to inspiring and empowering people with spinal cord injuries to lead active and engaged lives. Through the Active Project, they provide relevant resources for people with many different disabilities, not just spinal cord injuries.

Edie Perkins, Executive Director of the Kelly Brush Foundation, joined host Molly Lazarus in this episode to talk more about how the Active Project is helping people with disabilities learn more about adaptive sports, discover local sport organizations and events, and connect with other disability community members who are interested in becoming more active or who already consider themselves active.
