CHULA VISTA, Calif. – If you take one look at Kym Crosby running, you can tell she’s clearly a professional track athlete.“In 2016, I got bronze in the 100 meters, 4th in the 400. In Tokyo, I got bronze in the 100 and bronze in the 400,” Crosby said.Those medals all coming from the Paralympics.Crosby tells me she was born visually impaired, having albinism.“Which means I have no pigment in my hair, skin and eyes,” Crosby said.
“That allowed me to get to Nationals actually every single year since then and get some of the equipment I’ve need going forward,” Crosby said. “So, CAF has been there by my side going through each and every games. Challenged Athletes Foundation helped me with their assisted funds to get me to Nationals so I can compete to make a team.”Bob Babbitt, Co-Founder of Challenged Athletes Foundation, said they’ve sent out more than 48,000 grants; a lot of them travel grants.
