No matter who we are, we will face challenges and adversity. Chris’s achievements transcend what others believe he can achieve given his disability. The Nametags programs push people to challenge the assumptions and limitations that result from the labels that we give to ourselves and others. Nametags does not focus on disability, but rather the universal experience of challenge and the power of resilience. In the program, Chris sends the message, “It’s not what happens to you. It’s what you do with what happens to you.”

Having a disability doesn’t have to mean you can’t shoot hoops like Kobe Bryant or reach that match point like Serena Williams.
In Mississippi, people who have to live their lives in wheelchairs aren’t getting the athletic opportunities experts say still needs to play an important role in their lives.
“WE’RE WORKING TOGETHER PROMOTING SPORTS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THROUGHOUT MISSISSIPPI.” WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN CONTINUE TO OFFER INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR MAXIMUM LEVEL OF PHYSICAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL INDEPENDENCE.
