My Mom's cousin, Randy Snow, passed away last week. I have never met him nor knew the extent of his great accomplishments. Thought I would share with you this mans amazing life story and how he changed the world for many people.
Who is Randy Snow?
At the peak of a blossoming tennis career while just a junior in high school, Randy Snow was injured in a farming accident, which left him without the use of his legs. Since then he has become a business owner and nationally recognized sales associate, a Fortune 500 speaker and one of the most successful gold medal wheelchair athletes in history. Because of his achievements, he received the Paralympic torch from President Clinton in Washington, kicking off the Atlanta Paralympic Games in 1996. In 2004, he was the first Paralympian inducted into the Olympic Hall of Fame.
Featured on CNN, ESPN and in USA Today, he is a gold medalist, a published author, a past MVP sales associate and is the current president of an achievement company called NO XQs (no excuse), Inc. His life represents the idea of discovering options and finding new opportunities. Randy Snow has proven that in order to succeed today, you must have a 100% able-bodied mind
