Great Big Story | This Paralympic Athlete Never Gave Up On His Dream 🥹 @GreatBigStory | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
From being denied entry into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to competing at this year's @paralympics, Blake Leeper's story is an inspiration to all. ❤️

Being born without lower legs didn’t keep Leeper from playing baseball and basketball when he was a kid. After being fitted with prosthetic limbs, Leeper took a lot of falls, but he always got right back up. In college, he discovered running, the sport that would become his lifeblood.
