In this inspiring conversation, Adam Gorlitsky joins Whitney McDuff to share his extraordinary journey from tragedy to triumph. After a devastating car accident in 2005 left him paralyzed from the waist down, Adam was told he would never walk again. Ten years later, he defied those odds by using a ReWalk exoskeleton, reclaiming his ability to stand and walk. Since 2015, Adam has completed over 90 road races, earning two Guinness World Records for exoskeleton half and full marathons.
Adam delves into the mission of his nonprofit, I GOT LEGS, which empowers paralyzed athletes by increasing access to exoskeleton technology. He discusses his vision to elevate Exoskeleton Racing into a recognized Paralympic and collegiate sport, creating opportunities for athletes to redefine their physical boundaries. Throughout the interview, Adam reflects on the mental resilience required to overcome life’s challenges, the innovative power of technology, and his unwavering belief in the ability to transform adversity into opportunity.
Listeners will walk away inspired by Adam’s determination to challenge perceptions of disability and his dedication to fostering a world where every athlete can break through limitations and achieve greatness.
