The SPORTS `N SPOKES Story

SPORTS `N SPOKES (S`NS) magazine was founded by Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) member, Cliff Crase and his wife, Nancy in 1975. At the time, Crase was editor of Paraplegia News (PN) and in addition to his editorial duties, enjoyed writing sports briefs for PN. He soon discovered that he had much more to say than room allowed and felt a dedicated publication was needed to highlight the quickly-growing community of wheelchair sports.

With the help of Nancy, a seasoned photographer, they set out to bring the world of adaptive sports to one magazine and SPORTS `N SPOKES was born.

Shortly before Cliff’s passing in 2008, S`NS was sold to PVA and is published in the same production office as PN in Phoenix, Ariz.
