Gabe Trujillo chats with Paralympian Lacey Henderson and they talk about her emotions of representing the USA in the Paralympics, the long training schedules and her time living in the Valley of the Sun.

For the final episode of season one of The Disabled List, I wanted to talk about adaptive sports. 

From power soccer to the Paralympics, there are a wide variety of sports available for athletes with disabilities. 

And if you live in the Valley, you can catch some incredible performances from some amazing athletes. 

Last year during the Desert Challenge Games, I had the chance to sit down with long jumper Lacey Henderson. We talked about her emotions of representing the USA in the Paralympics, the long training schedules and her time living in the Valley of the Sun.
