Our guest is Chris Waddell, an American Paralympic sit-skier, a wheelchair track athlete, a motivational speaker, author, TV personality, and emcee. Chris was a ski racer at Middlebury College when he fell in a ski accident, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. Chris was back skiing within a year and went on to become one of the most decorated mono-skiers of all time. When Chris retired as a professional athlete, he summited Mt. Kilimanjaro on a handcycle, in an effort to turn perception of disability upside down. He is the first paraplegic to summit Mt Kilimanjaro, nearly unassisted, on a handcycle. Chris’ journey lives on through the documentary 1Revolution.
