October Para-Athlete of the Month: Bryce Foster

A message from the athlete:

I became an amputee after 12 years of surgeries trying to reconstruct and save my leg from congenital defects from birth. I chose to have it amputated at age 13, and it was the best decision I have ever made! I am a true believe that anything is possible and I believe I am an example of that. I was never much of a volleyball player prior to the national team but here I am trying to qualify for the 2021 Paralympics! I urge each and every one of us to try and become more understanding and accepting of physical challenges and disabilities
