At Special Strong, we understand the importance of representation, which is why we’d like to take a second to shine a spotlight on these 5 athletes with special needs:
1. Jim Abbott- Special Needs: Abbott was born without his right hand.
2. Natalie du Toit- Special Needs: du Toit’s left leg was amputated at the knee after she was in a car accident in 2001.
3. Alana Nichols- Special Needs: Nichols became paralyzed from the waist down after attempting to do a backflip while snowboarding in Colorado in 2000.
4. Rick Hoyt- Special Needs: Hoyt was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at birth after his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck in the womb.
5. Marla Runyan- Special Needs: At age nine, Runyan lost her eyesight due to Stargardt’s Disease.http://https://www.specialstrong.com/athletes-with-special-needs/ »
