Team AWE is the brainchild of four motivated and gregarious women who were all looking for much of the same thing. Conceived over a latte and some warm conversation, it was immediately evident that what these women each lacked on their own, could be found when uniting together. And so it was. The Able Women Empowering aim to change the face of women in athletics, promote adaptive sports, create an awareness of physical challenges, provide support for new women athletes, and everything in between. These women—Tricia Downing, Ryan McLean, Hannah Pennington, and Carrie Willoughby—have never been so excited to prove to the world the power and passion that lies within a team, this team, Team AWE. The team has dedicated their efforts to improving themselves and their own sporting ventures, but—more importantly—to leave an impact on audiences of willing individuals brave enough to take a look at their own challenges and desires, and make the willing decision to go for them. In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and <b>...</b>
