About Us

From producer and subjects, from mother and sons, from survivors to victors. 
We found that the power of our whole could be greater than the sum of our very different parts.

Leroy

Leroy grew up in Ohio neighborhoods rife with drugs and violence. In 2001, at the age of 11 he was struck by a train, which led to the amputation of both his legs. Instead of giving up, Leroy demonstrated an astounding ability to get up and carry on, an attribute that would continue to push him into his adult life. Sutton excelled in high school wrestling in multiple weight classes – finishing his senior season with nine wins.  He went on to compete at the 2010 Paralympic Powerlifting World Championships in Malaysia where he finished 10th.  Leroy was the first in his family to graduate from high school and now holds a college degree in video game production.  He is employed at Electronic Arts.
