There is still time to make a difference this Giving Tuesday.
Here is an example of the impact your contributions make in the lives of Catalyst Sports athletes.

"Climbing saved my life. Before I had words, I had the wall. It was the one place I could go where the world saw my ability not my disability. On the wall communication between my body and brain is fluid. I do not have Apraxia. I appear normal. In fact, I am extraordinary. My hands and feet know where to go and how to get there. I can see the patterns and my hands and feet respond. I feel wiser and stronger than I ever have. My mental health soars to sights unseen. I leave my worries behind and it’s just me. The me many never see. The me that can. The me that only becomes visible on the wall. I leave behind every lie that has ever been spoken. I leave behind doubt. I leave behind all the fear. I leave behind communication. I don’t need it. My body is doing all the talking. I shine bright. The world stops and sees me clearly. I have nothing to prove. I have dignity. I have the entire gym looking at me in awe. Never had that happened to me before. I was usually overlooked. No one believed I had the mental or physical strength to do most anything. Then I started climbing. I usually need intense focus to do most motor activities. With climbing I don’t. I just need to see it. The wall lights up to show me the way. My body responds. Instantly my mood changes. I feel lighter than air. Happiness consumes me to a degree I only feel there. Lost are my thoughts. The pain of so many years silent disappears to the void. I am complete. My ghosts fade into the mist. Leaving me to ascend upward to the top. A stronger version of myself in solidarity with the wall. Climbing saved my life and helped me find my words."

Your gift today helps athletes rediscover joy, confidence, and community.
