Episode Synopsis "Inspiring Kids through Wheelchair Sports and Recreation"

Join us as we talk to Damian Buchman about how to inspire kids to try something new, in a new pair of shoes, the sport wheelchair! A one-in-a-billion survivor of his childhood bone cancer, Damian has endured dozens of surgeries. But, that never stopped him. He is the founder of The Ability Center and the Wisconsin Adaptive Sports Association. He is also the vision behind the RampUp movement. He has a passion for helping people realize their best self, delivering his message of hope. In his words, “The work I do is simply my way to honor my survivorship and those who lost their battle. Everybody deserves an equal opportunity to play – together!”. You can find more out about him and his missions at www.damianbuchman.com www.tacwi.org and on Facebook as Damian Buchman.
