Partnership will amplify the fight for physical activity and mobility access and tell stories of the people impacted by legislation.
So Every BODY Can Move , a movement working to expand access to physical activity and sport for people with disabilities, today announced a new partnership with Culxtured, the leading media collective dedicated to reshaping how Para sport and disability are represented in media.
As the official media partner of So Every BODY Can Move, Culxtured will use its platform, storytelling, and deep connection to the Para sport community to amplify the movement’s work to ensure people with disabilities have access to the prosthetic and orthotic care they need to participate in physical activity and sport.
The partnership comes at a critical moment for the Paralympic movement which will be hosted by the United States in Los Angeles in 2028. While Culxtured has built its platform around telling the stories of elite Para athletes, both organizations recognize that the pathway to elite Para sport starts much earlier with access.
You cannot build a pipeline of Paralympians if people cannot access the medical care they need to participate in sport in the first place.
For too many people with limb loss and disabilities, prosthetic and orthotic care as well as complex rehabilitation technology (CRT, i.e. wheelchairs) for physical activity are considered “not medically necessary” or are not adequately covered by insurance. The result is a barrier that can prevent people from discovering sport, developing confidence, and ultimately pursuing an athletic pathway.
So Every BODY Can Move is working to change that.
The initiative has set an ambitious goal of seeing 28 states enact legislation expanding access to physical activity and mobility-related prosthetic,orthotic, and CRT care by the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, the first Paralympic Games to be held in Los Angeles.
Culxtured’s role will be to help bring this work to a larger audience, telling the stories behind the legislation, highlighting the people impacted by access barriers, and demonstrating what becomes possible when people have the opportunity to move, play, compete, and pursue their potential.
“Para sport doesn't begin at the Paralympic Games,” said Dani Aravich, Culxtured co-founder and three-time Team USA Paralympian. “It begins when a kid gets the equipment they need to play their first sport. It begins when a teenager realizes they can be an athlete. It begins when someone has the opportunity to move without having to choose between participating and paying for the equipment that makes participation possible.”
“Culxtured has always believed in telling the stories of Para athletes, but we also have to look upstream at how those athletes get here. Access to sport is the beginning of that pipeline. This partnership gives us an opportunity to connect the fight for access with the future of the Paralympic movement.”
“Paralympians have powerful voices that can help change how our country sees disability—not just by celebrating what’s possible at the highest levels of sport, but by helping ensure everyone has the opportunity to move, at whatever level that means for them. Through this partnership, Culxtured can help bridge the voices of Paralympic athletes with the voices of children, recreational athletes, and people with disabilities who simply need access to the medically necessary care—including prosthetics, orthotics, and wheelchairs—to get to their own starting line. This is about more than sport; it’s about changing the narrative and culture around disability and affirming that physical activity is a right, not a privilege. We’re honored to have Culxtured’s voice alongside ours in this movement to make that right a reality for every body.”
— Nicole Ver Kuilen, National Campaign Lead, So Every BODY Can Move
Through the partnership, Culxtured and So Every BODY Can Move will work together across storytelling, social media, athlete voices, educational content, and campaign amplification to demonstrate why access to physical activity is not a luxury, it is foundational to building a more inclusive sporting ecosystem.
The partnership also creates an opportunity to connect two often-separated conversations: disability access and elite Para sport.
Every Paralympian has a beginning. And for many, that beginning is simply having the opportunity to move.
As the world looks toward Los Angeles 2028, So Every Body Can Move and Culxtured are working to ensure that the next generation of Paralympians has the opportunity to get in the game long before they ever reach the start line.
Because the future of Para sport depends on access today.
Together, we can help every body move.
