This month we welcomed Candace Cable to our team of Champion Ambassadors.
Candace is a nine-time Paralympian whose achievements in sport and service are unparalleled. She is a champion in her sports of wheelchair racing, alpine skiing, and cross-country sit skiing as well as in her advocacy efforts.
Her advocacy work touches lives all around the world through her travels with organizations like
Open Doors International, UNICEF, and the
United States International Council on Disabilities. With
The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, Candace is able to reach millions through webcasts focused on improving the lives of people with disabilities. Candace was recently named
Vice Chair of the LA2024 Board.
Now, as a Champion Ambassador with GSD, Candace will reach out to youth and share with them her experiences as an athlete and a person with a disability - ultimately showing the youth that the only thing holding a person back is their perspective and drive.
