JAMES NORRIS
HANDICAPABLE FITNESS
I wanted to share a message of hope with you. James Norris is 31 years old and has Cerebral Palsy. James struggled immensely in his life living with cerebral palsy; on a daily basis James would ask himself, "why me?"
James had to suffer with the ignorance of society because he was 'out of the ordinary'. James struggled to find his passion in life, so he turned to drinking alcohol and partying to cope with the fact he will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. After a duration of time, James realized he was getting heavy so he decided to make a change to join the gym in hopes of shedding a few pounds. Unbeknownst, he immediately fell in love with fitness.
With dedication, determination, proper diet and support James was able to lose 50 pounds. Through out his fitness journey, James was able to make long lasting connections and gain confidence in his overall quality of life. By taking charge, working out six days a week, he is already one step towards his goal: to walk for the first time in his life. He is no where near finished or satisfied. James wants to inspire and advocate for every one who has any form of a disability, special needs, or disadvantage across the world. His message is to NEVER let your circumstances hold you back from your dreams.
