Laureus: BlazeSports Fosters Inclusive Environments

BlazeSports America fosters inclusive environments for young people through adaptive sports

Laureus USA.

Titus grew up in a sports-obsessed family and dreamed of playing soccer like his dad.  However, by the age of six, he and his family learned that might not be possible. He was born with a progressive genetic condition called Mitochondrial disease, which causes muscle weakness, fatigue, and seizures. 
 
Just when Titus’s world seemed to become smaller, he joined BlazeSports America that introduced him to adaptive sports. Suddenly, his world felt bigger than ever. 

“Playing adaptive sports has given me a second chance to do what I love,” said Titus, who is now 12 years old.
