Through a crazy 5600 mile trip from Fairbanks, Alaska to Washington, DC, Mike King, a paraplegic came home with a growing love for adapted sports and a growing faith. "God used sports to fill parts of my life that were left empty after my accident."
After years of competing on an elite level in wheelchair sports, Mike is on a new adventure with his wife Sharyn. It’s called Powered to Move (P2M). To learn more about our awesome programs visit – www.poweredtomove.org.
Through P2M people with physical and intellectual disabilities are finding ways to live full, healthy and purposeful lives. Our programs are filled with community, connection and fun ways to stay active.
Homeward Bound! Powered to Move Community Center coming soon! Our Board of Directors made it official and We are Homeward Bound in early 2024...moving into a 3200 square foot space on the grounds of our friends and partners at Coventry Reserve. This will allow us to serve more folks. It will be home to an adapted gym, community space and many old and new programs. This will be a place "where HOPE thrives"!

Why are we making this move? Powered to Move is 10 years old this year and we have grown from offering a simple racing programs (Handcycle and Wingman programs) which help people with disabilities participate in local races (5k's, 10k's or longer), and then we added our Adapted Fitness program to make a bigger impact in the health and fitness of people with disabilities and last year we added the Forward Moves program, to impact not just fitness, but isolation, lack of resource and purpose in the lives of those we serve. This new space will be a place to address all those needs in a bigger and more significant way, as we develop a place for those with disabilities (and their families) to come, learn and belong! We are so excited to make this move and hope you will join us on this journey to our new home!
Powered to Move does not discriminate in the administration of its policies, admission, tuition assistance or other programs.
We believe that every person is valuable and should be treated with dignity and respect.
