Our Paralympian Heroes Shine Bright
The Paralympic Games have come to a close, leaving us with unforgettable memories of athleticism, determination, and the triumph of the human spirit. This year, sarcoma survivors represented the United States–and won medals–on the Men and Women’s basketball teams and Para-Triathlon events. Their determination, perseverance, and athleticism illustrates the strength and resilience of the sarcoma community.
These athletes not only competed against the world’s best, but they also demonstrated incredible resilience and perseverance on their personal journeys. Their dedication and unwavering spirit serve as a beacon of hope for all of us. They are living proof that with courage and determination, anything is possible.
We’re thrilled to recognize the following individuals who brought home medals:
- Nate Hinze, Gold, Men’s Wheelchair Basketball
- Hailey Danz, Gold, Para-Triathalon
- Emily Oberst, Silver, Women’s Wheelchair Basketball
- Bailey Moody, Silver, Women’s Wheelchair Basketball
- Natalie Schneider, Silver, Women’s Wheelchair Basketball
- Mark Barr, Bronze, Para-Triathalon
All of the athletes have made us all incredibly proud. Their achievements remind us that within our community, we can achieve greatness. Let’s continue to celebrate their victories and support them as they inspire the next generation of athletes.
