Blake Leeper is an 8-Time Paralympic Track & Field International Medalist, as well as World Record holder and 3-Time American Record Holder. He has ranked Top 10 Fastest Men in the World amongst both able-bodied and disabled athletes. He recently qualified for the USDAF Able-Bodied National Championships, becoming the first double leg amputee ever to qualify. Born with a congenital defect that required a double below knee amputation, Blake was faced with the choice to let society set the expectation for his success or establish his own belief of what he was capable of. Blake rose to fame, money and success, but with these followed a rock bottom that would shift his life forever. With his story of sweat, persistence, failure and inner fire to never quit, Blake continues to spread hope and show what’s truly possible.
