In this first episode of Season 2 of "Live Local, Give Local: San Diego" listeners learn about the incredible, inspiring, and uplifiting story of the Challenged Athletes Foundation. You might laugh, you might cry, but we know you'll be thinking deeply after listening to the conversation between co-host Charles Parisi, CEO of Cloudcast Media, co-host Teresa Colosimo-Miller, the CEO of 365 Connect, the CEO and co-Founder of Challenged Athletes Foundation, Bob Babbitt, and one of their amazing donors and supporters, Richard Wallace.

When all is said and done, this episode can be summed up in two words: Jim MacLaren.

Listen to Bob tell the story of this amazing man's life. A life so breathtaking it is hard to comprehend the fortitude, the strength, and the fuel that drove him to change the world...with the support of Bob and others who were in awe of Jim. And 30 years later, it's been all impact: from one man's challenge, CAF has gone on and raised more than $159M and funded over 44,000 grant requests from people with physical disabilities in all 50 states and 70 countries across 104+ different sports.
