The Story Behind The Race UCP of Middle Tennessee serves people with all forms of disabilities that primarily affect movement and motor skills. The Resolution Run is the primary funding source for our Durable Medical and Adaptive Equipment Exchange Program. Each year, UCP collects and distributes over 1200 items of equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers, prone standers, bathroom aids, and other essential devices. This is accomplished at no charge to our families. UCP volunteers and partner organizations have constructed over 1500 wheelchair ramp on to the homes of low income people with disabilities across the state of Tennessee. Your participation in our event is making a difference in people's lives!

Equipment Exchange Program

UCP provides free durable medical and adaptive equipment to people throughout Tennessee, regardless of their diagnosis. UCP seeks new and gently used durable medical equipment to re-cycle the donated items to individuals who have little or no insurance and no other resources to obtain the equipment they need to live their lives as independently as possible.

The UCP Durable Medical and Adaptive Equipment Exchange Program enables individuals with disabilities and their families to become self-sufficient through the provision of durable medical and adaptive equipment. The Equipment Exchange first emerged through the gratitude and concern of families who received equipment for their children through UCP's Barry Dean Fulton Special Needs Fund. This included items such as wheelchairs, walkers, prone standers, wheelchair lifts, and augmentative communication devices. As their children outgrew the equipment, parents were returning it to UCP, asking to make it available to other families. Over the years, the Equipment Exchange experienced a quiet but steady growth as new families and service providers learned of its existence. The program was expanded to include individuals with all types of disabilities, and other organizations joined with UCP in collecting, storing and distributing equipment. The program is now one of UCP's hallmark services.
