Aspiring marine learned to box after losing his legs — now he’s teaching others with disabilities
There are many things Donahue Fields had to learn after he lost his ability to walk, including how to defend himself while in a wheelchair.
The incident, combined with the loss of his limbs, affected Fields’ confidence and left him contemplating his self-worth. His weight ballooned from a lack of activity, and his health — both physically and mentally — declined. After rebuilding his strength and confidence through boxing, Fields saw that the sport could help others with disabilities. So he rented out a section of a gym to train them and got to work.“I wanted people to enjoy it the way I’m enjoying it to create a self-esteem boost,” he says. “It starts with security, and then you apply that in other areas of your life. Hopefully, they experience the same thing I did and just keep growing and growing.
