About This Cause
Fast Feet is a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 2018 in Brooklyn, New York. Recognizing the severe need for adaptive running and health equity programs for children with disabilities, our mission is to make athletics, nutrition and social skills development accessible and inclusive to all people. Fast Feet uniquely improves the lives of youth living with disabilities through the sport of running. In general, programs that provide children with disabilities to be physically active, properly supported, socially interact and feel accepted are extremely limited and often expensive. With over three million children in the United States living with a disability, programs like ours are desperately needed for the healthy socioemotional development of these individuals. For all children, running is natural and transformative - even more so for children with disabilities. Continued studies have shown how programs like ours have contributed to improved focus, decreased disruptiveness and aggression, less repetitive behavior and improved social interactions in participants. Through the power of sports, Fast Feet athletes realize their athletic potential, increase their personal fitness and push past limitations associated with developmental differences.
