Invacare Sponsors National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic - 9/20/2009
The second annual National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic was held September 20 - 25 in San Diego. The Clinic was targeted for recently injured Veterans with the goal to introduce them to adaptive sports and to renew their self-confidence through sporting activities. Invacare's Jim Black instructed the handcycle clinic using the extensive range of Top End handcycles. Jim said, "It was an honor to be part of a great VA event with so many experienced therapists who know handcycles. Together we really made a difference -- helping the veterans to select the right handcycle and get them positioned correctly. It was a positive life changing experience for each person we helped." Other events at this rehabilitation clinic included adaptive kayaking, sailing, track and field, cycling and surfing, using venues throughout San Diego, including the U.S. Olympic Training Center.
