"We read an article in BoxLife Magazine. It was talking about ... adaptive CrossFit for individuals with special needs. As I read that article to Kylie, she lit up with excitement." Vera Spinks is an athlete at CrossFit Candor in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Here, she talks about how her daughter Kylie, who has cerebral palsy, has progressed through CrossFit.

Jamie Cormier, owner of CrossFit Candor, explains how working with Kylie inspired her gym to develop a program for adaptive athletes. They call it "Power Hour."

"This is our sport ... together. She gives me strength ... and I can encourage her because she sees me doing the same things,” Spinks says.
