This March, in recognition of Disability Awareness Month and our lab's commitment to enhancing accessibility within the DEIA framework, the Voice of PSC is proud to present an inspiring session with Ezra Frech, a remarkable athlete and motivational speaker who embodies resilience, determination, and the power of embracing differences.
Born with congenital limb differences, Ezra has transcended physical limits with unparalleled determination. From setting national youth records at just 8 years old to shattering the world record in High Jump T63 at the Paris 2023 Para Athletics World Championship with a leap of 1.95 meters, Ezra's journey is nothing short of inspirational. His accolades include being a double silver Parapan American Games medalist and a forceful advocate for inclusivity through sports.
Beyond his athletic prowess, 18-year-old Ezra is a co-founder of Angel City Sports, providing accessible sports training and competitive opportunities for individuals with physical disabilities. His early start as a motivational speaker has made him a prominent voice for raising awareness and understanding of physical challenges, advocating for a world where being different is not just accepted but celebrated.
Ezra's message, "You can Dream it, You can Hope for it, or You can Make It Happen," along with his young life's work, underscores the importance of resilience, determination, and the power of focusing on what we have rather than what we lack. These qualities are not only relevant to overcoming personal challenges but also resonate deeply with the ethos of our laboratory work.
Join us for an unforgettable presentation that promises to inspire and motivate, reminding us all of the incredible achievements possible and how much we can learn when we embrace and support each other's differences. Stay tuned for further details on the exact date and time.
