Listen Later

Welcome to a unique and special episode of "What's New in APE," where we pay tribute to the remarkable legacy of Eli Wolff, an eminent advocate and leader in the field of disability sports. As a distinguished multiple-time US Paralympian, Eli devoted himself to promoting the inclusion of disabled individuals in sports and physical activities. One of Eli's impactful endeavors was his instrumental role in advocating for provisions concerning sport and recreation within the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Additionally, he played a key part in establishing the prestigious ESPY Award for Best Athlete with a Disability. Three of Eli's closest friends and colleagues came on the podcast to remember Eli's work and achievements. This included Dr. Mary Hums (University of Louisville), Dr. David Legg (Mount Royal University), and Dr. Ted Fey (Recently retired from SUNY Cortland). They share heartfelt accounts of their relationships with Eli and recount inspiring stories of how he consistently fostered tangible and meaningful changes for the disability community.
