Canceled - Össur and CAF Mobility Clinic in Chicago
April 11, 2020 | Chicago, IL
“Before I knew about CAF I was basically winging everything. When I came to a CAF mobility clinic they taught me how to properly run and for that I'm forever grateful!”
Jesse - Clinic Attendee
The safety and well-being of our community is top of mind for all of us. With COVID-19 rapidly changing our daily lives across the country, the teams at Össur and CAF remain focused on making the best decisions for our athletes, supporters, sponsors, staff and volunteers. To that end, Össur and CAF have decided to postpone the upcoming Össur and CAF Mobility Clinic in Chicago on April 11.
We are so grateful for your commitment and support of the Challenged Athletes Foundation and hope to reschedule this adaptive sports event for later in the year. We are constantly monitoring the updates from the CDC and governmental authorities regarding events and activities impacted by COVID-19 . Please check back on our website and social channels for any updates going forward and we will do our part to keep you informed.
From the entire Össur and CAF Team, please stay safe and healthy, and thank you for your continued support of the Össur and CAF community and understanding during these unprecedented times.
We’ve teamed with the Challenged Athletes Foundation for the past 20+ years hosting running and mobility clinics. Held several times throughout the year, these free clinics provide opportunities to learn techniques from world renowned gait experts, Össur athletes and CAF mentors with the goal of helping you move better, easier and more confidently with your prosthesis. But more than instructional sessions, they are inspirational and supportive forums that connect people of all ages and abilities. Our commitment to health, fitness and mobility reflects our belief that everyone – no matter their ability - should have an opportunity to thrive in the activities and sports they love.
At this clinic you will:
- Maximize your potential through movement and mobility.
- Learn from world renowned mobility and gait experts.
- Connect with like-minded people in a community of athletes, families, clinicians and experts and build life-long relationships.
- Receive mentorship and guidance from Össur and CAF ambassadors and clinical experts.
