The Capable Kids Foundation in partnership with the Texas Department of Public Safety and Driscoll Health Plan hosted a workout session for children, on Saturday. We want to bring awareness to the fact that everybody needs to be healthy, Executive Director or the Capable Kids Foundation Sofia Peña said. We do that by having these workouts with kids.
Peña said the group was founded in 2015 and since the goal has been to ensure kids with disabilities are included in all aspects in life that means working out.
