Weightlifter Ned Norton is no stranger to taking on big challenges. He has been training ever since he was 12 years old, in response to constantly getting sick, before going on to train others—including Olympians and professional powerlifters. When the chance came to take on someone with a spinal cord injury who was in a wheelchair, Norton accepted without hesitation.
“I’ve always been a ‘don’t worry about what you can’t do, worry about what you can do,’ type of guy,” he explained in a profile for NationSwell. “Before they meet me, they’ve been told ‘No, you’re not going to do this. You’ll never do this.‘ They’ll never hear that from me.”
