Why was Phoenix Racing created?

Phoenix Racing began in the spring of 2013 as a result of our staff recognizing that the children we served often improved behaviorally much faster when we addressed their sense of connectedness to the community and assessed if they were eating, sleeping and exercising appropriately than with traditional talk therapy alone. A race team was the perfect vehicle for addressing these issues as running demands that a child eats and sleeps properly, puts in the practice to perform and gains a sense of accomplishment upon completion of a race!
