Listen Later

CHRIS WADDELL is a world renowned skier, Paralympian, and speaker. He lost the use of his legs after a freak skiing accident, he went on to beat the odds and ended up making it into the US Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame, AND the Paralympic Hall of Fame. His 13 Paralympic medals are more than any other male monoskier in Paralympic history.


He's the first paraplegic to successfully summit Mount Kilimanjaro, almost without assistance. In 2005, the Dalai Lama named him an Unsung Hero of Compassion.
