Adaptive Athletes and Motion coach Samantha Walker, left, and her family listen to Daniel Bufford speak on Saturday, July 29, 2023, at Brave Enough Cross Fit in Kansas City. Walker joined as a coach with the Adaptive Athletes in Motion program after her sister had a random and violent angioedema episode that left her blind. Walker quit her job and followed her passion to help people who have disabilities like her sister, Walker said.
“Adaptive Athletes in motion was inclusive, it was exceptional, and it was coordinated,” Walker said. “People with disabilities could feel that sense of normalcy rather than special treatment or hand
holding, rather it was a hard work out that these people were working their asses off for.”
