Nathan
Dewitt

2012 Paralympian Nathan Dewitt was born with dyplegia cerebral palsy. Doctors told him he wouldn’t be able to ride a bike or walk, but he’s proven them wrong. At 15 he began playing sledge hockey, which led to other sports like wheelchair basketball, kneeboarding and tennis. At the recommendation of his physiotherapist, Dewitt decided to try wheelchair racing.

The 24-year-old sprinter credits his father with teaching him that if he wants to accomplish something, he needs to work hard.
