| Team statement: |
Children's Specialized Hospital has always encouraged
children to be independent despite any challenges that arise. To
encourage independence and to benefit from athletic competition,
Children’s developed a junior wheelchair athletic program. The
hospital's team, "Children's Specialized Hospital – Lightning Wheels"
has been in existence since 1981 when the team participated in its
first sporting event. Since then, the team has continued to achieve
great success on both a team, and an individual level. Many of the
past and present members of the team are national record holders in
track and field and swimming. The team also has been represented at
several international competitions including the 1996, 2000, 2004 &
2008
Paralympics. Athletes with a physical disability between the
ages of 5-21 are eligible to join.
