RECREATIONAL THERAPY BREAKING NEWS
Strive, its employees, therapists and those with disabilities especially ANYONE WHO HAD BEEN INJURED in auto accidents AND MANY MANY Michigan Based Businesses need your help!
We need for you to contact your legislature and urge them to vote NO on Senate Bills 293 & 294. If Governor Snyder receives these bills, he will sign it and fundamentally change the basic nature of Michigan's auto no- fault system. Changing of this no- fault system will majorly effect those with disabilities, making health care and medical needs even more difficult to access and pay for. Therefore, those with disabilities will have a more difficult time getting the care they need to live an adequate and healthier life. Please visit http://cpan.us/advocacy-activities.htm.

Strive, Inc is actively involved in the Michigan Victory Games
The Michigan Victory Games provides athletes who have a physical disability the opportunity to participate in recreational and competitive sports. Participation in the Games gives athletes a chance to compete against their peers in a variety of events and reap the benefits as others who participate in organized sports. Since its inception, the Michigan Victory Games has qualified many athletes to compete in Paralympics, World Games and the National Sports Festival. In 2009, Paralympics' representatives attended the Games for the first time -- only one of three sites in the nation to be given this honor.
The 2011 Michigan Victory Games
The Michigan Victory Games was again a success in 2011! The MVG, directed by Strive's President, Stella Husch, again drew in athletes from all over Michigan and other Midwestern states. MVG is Michigan's premiere competitive sporting event for athletes with disabilities, ages 7-seniors. Held on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI, athletes competed in various athletic events ranging from swimming, bowling, and powerlifting, to track and field, and many more in between! Thanks to the many volunteers, staff, board members, coaches, and parents, our athletes were able to have another fun filled weekend competing in the events that they train year round for.
