Wes Hamilton

Transformed from a victim into a victor. A random shooting caused his spinal cord injury, leaving him in a wheelchair and profoundly depressed. But Wesley discovered a passion for fitness and nutrition that propelled him out of the dark and into the world of adaptive athletics. Motivated to give back, he established a philanthropy to improve physical and mental health for all. Wesley has won not only numerous awards, but also hearts across the world.
