Athletes who use adaptive sports, such as the silver medalist paralympic sailor Jennifer French and sports therapist Jennifer Day, will participate in a panel discussion addressing barriers in the community and available resources to overcome them.
Others on the panel will include professional wheelchair athletes, past and current Ms. Wheelchair Florida contestants and members of the area’s medical community.
