Maybe put what state your from and that states games plus surrounding state games can start looking to get a para games going. Strictly speaking from an ADS point of view-their not going to start a division for one athlete/get a few fellas (and ladys) then no doubt an AD would be crazy to not include such brave athletes. I commend you for being the first vocal one and wish you luck in your endeavor. If I can ever be of assistance just holler

I checked out the photos.  That is fantastic!

Also cool is that you have the AT tracked wheelchair.  We saw one of those at the Abilities Expo a few years ago in Atlanta and were impressed.

Anyway, to the point -- I suspect Dan is correct.  If you find any game you want to make, contact the AD.  In my experience, they will find a class for you to compete.

May I recommend that you contact Chuck Livingston of the Buffalo Heavies here in Western New York. (www.buffaloheavies.com) As OASIS Adaptive Sports has been out charity of focus for several games, we would be honored for you to throw with us.

We've thrown with a vet who lost both legs in service, and it was such a great day throwing. There were many, many great moments and I am sure that the crowd accidentally learned a little about the human spirit and how an injury doesn't define a life

I also compete in T&F, and during one of my shotput competitions, a vet who was missing an arm threw with us. Not only did he have to learn to throw left handed after the loss of his arm, I learned that thermoregulation can be a significant challenge, as the body is designed to use four appendages to radiate heat. He was really suffering in the summer heat, and never complained. We talked the whole meet about the challenges of getting adapted devices shipped to a venue, care and infrastructure for service animals, and the hardships in finding competitions.

PM me if you'd like more information. I know I'd be honored to fling heavy stuff with you
