welcome Beinvenidos, Willkommen, Bienvenue, Karibu! This site is dedicated to all athletes – young, old, wealthy, poor, those with a disability, and those who may compete in the “traditional” way. Still, in many parts of the world, athletes with a disability are not given the social, economic, and political empowerment needed to embrace their athleticism. This can be extrapolated to other minority groups as well, to all individuals who are subject to continued discrimination and ignorance. I compete for this reason - to promote the potential within all athletes if given the opportunity to Dream Long Distance.
I have recently joined Team Darfur to express my support for the defense of human rights in Sudan. If you are an athlete, please also consider joining. If not you, then who? If not now, then when?
