Move United Junior Nationals |
Sport pushes what’s possible for people with disabilities, confronting ignorance, fueling conversation, and inciting action that leads to a world where everyone’s included. This is one of the goals of Move United Junior Nationals presented by The Hartford. Now in its 38th year, Move United Junior Nationals, scheduled for July 16-22 in Metro Denver, Colorado, is the largest and longest-standing national sport championship event for young athletes with a physical disability, visual and/or intellectual impairment through the age of twenty-two.
