“STRENGTH THROUGH CHANGE IS A CHOICE, NOT AN ACCIDENT.”

Chris Norton’s life changed instantly when a college football injury left him with a 3% chance of ever moving below his neck. Defying the odds, he walked at his graduation and 7 yards at his wedding. This journey taught Chris that while he couldn’t control his physical world, he could master his inner one.

Today, Chris is a powerful voice for resilience. He’s fostered over 23 children with his wife Emily, adopting 5 of their own, founded a free wheelchair camp, and become a renowned keynote speaker and author. His story, featured in the award-winning documentary “7 Yards” inspires audiences worldwide.

The Message Today’s Workforce Needs to Hear
