"Moving Mountains" Fundraising Climb

The 5th annual climb was held in 2023 on Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the contiguous United States. The trek is especially compelling because of its technical difficulty. To date, the annual “Moving Mountains” climb has raised over $125,000 in support of the BlazeSports programs.

Testimonials

 

“Blaze was the first place I ever met another person with a disability. I went four years without meeting another blind person and four years of thinking my dream of swimming had been taken away from me when I lost my sight. It was incredible to meet so many people that had physical disabilities that were passionate about sports.”

McClain Hermes

BlazeSports Athlete and Paralympian

“BlazeSports has given me an opportunity to give back to the adaptive sports world that I grew up in. Now I get to come full circle and coach the young athletes, and it has really been meaningful.”

Jessie Cloy

BlazeSports Coach and 3x Paralympian

“Being a part of the BlazeSports programs gives you a sense that you’re now with friends and family that you will have for life. Everyone understands and can relate to what you are going though, you are treated like athlete above everything else. Blaze allowed me to compete against other adaptive athletes from around the country!”

Samantha Fraser

BlazeSports Athlete

“Being a part of BlazeSports has allowed me to participate in sports and other activities that after I first had my injury, I didn’t know I could do. It has been a second family for me, it has really helped me get back to doing the things I love.”

Collin Lancaster

BlazeSports Athlete

“As a parent, the world of adaptive sport is the best thing that ever happened to Collin…I cannot say enough how important (adaptive sport) is in their personal growth, personal awareness and personal health to get them active….learning these personal skills or team skills just prepares them for life.”

Marc Lancaster

Blaze Parent and Basketball Coach

“When we talk about the BlazeSports coach – athlete mentorship, our goal as coaches is to develop their sport-related skills but also help them realize that they can achieve their goals outside of this program. As coach we want every athlete that we interact with to know that they CAN, they all have the ability to be independent, be a college student, be a collegiate athlete, have a job, whatever!”

Jason Joines

BlazeSports Jr.Hawks Varsity Wheelchair Basketball Co-Head Coach

“I had an awesome time at Veteran camp. I feel so refreshed.  I cannot believe that I actually climbed up that tower and zip lined.

Thank you Blaze Sports. It has changed mine and my husband’s life. You guys make a difference and you have great impact on our community. Bless you!”
