Share A Hero Story NowChris is constant motivation and inspiration for all those around him. Diagnosed as a 21 year old Marine with a degenerative nerve disorder, Chris was forced to cut his career in the Marines short and has gone from using canes to a wheelchair over the last 12 years. Despite his challenges, Chris has never slowed down. He started his own fitness facility, Corps Fitness, and his own non-profit foundation, the IM ABLE Foundation, dedicated to getting everyone (disabled and able-bodied) up and moving. Through his efforts, Chris continues to inspire and motivate everyone around them and accepts no excuses in the gym or in life. GET UP AND MOVE!

My hero didn't invent something phenomonal; SHE IS PHENOMONAL. She didn't set up an orginazation that fed starving children; BUT FED US SHE DID. She is a woman of outstanding strength and quiet acceptance. She shows the millions of students who are in her midst what it means to "pass it on."
