Challenged Athletes Foundation
The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), established in 1997, assists, supports, and provides opportunity to people with physical challenges, that they might lead active lifestyles and compete in athletic events.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.challengedathletes.org/ )〕 It is founded in the belief that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life. The Foundation does this by providing funding for training, competition, rehabilitation, and equipment for the challenged athletes.
The ''Challenged Athletes Foundation'' is divided into five different programs: Access for Athletes, Operation Rebound, Catch a Rising Star, and Project N.EX.T. all of which focus on the betterment of disabled athletes, but vary in their target group. Access for Athletes is the flagship program of the Foundation.
== History ==
The Challenged Athletes Foundation was founded in 1997.
It was established in response to below-knee-amputee endurance racer Jim MacLaren suffering an accident while competing in a triathlon. In June 1993, while competing in a triathlon in Orange County, California, MacLaren was on his bike when a van went through a closed intersection, hit the back of the bike and propelled him into a pole. When he arrived at the hospital he was told that he was a quadriplegic and would never move again from the waist down.
