For those interested in running, the National Disability Sports Alliance (NDSA), may have a program, coach, therapist or even an adult 'runner' with hemiplegia in your area. Please feel free to contact NDSA and if they have someone in your community, they will put you in touch with them. The same goes for cycling, soccer, and other sports for individuals who have hemiplegia (Class 7 in the NDSA functional system). Jerry McCole, NDSA jmccole@blazesports.org
