A local man has set a goal of competing in the Paralympics, and the community has rallied behind him.
One Pottstown man is proving that disabilities don't put athletes at a disadvantage. He's set a goal of competing in the Paralympics, and the community has rallied behind him."My team is locked in and ready to go," said 24-year-old Marvin Pearson, who hopes to compete in the 100 merger dash in the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.
Being active continued even when Pearson also lost his hearing and received cochlear implants that now help him hear, even though he is deaf. "To see this dream come true not only for me but for the other young men and women across the country who feel like they've been doubted and counted out," said Pearson.
"Marvin holds my arm and we run together," he said. "We'll have to train together, match paces, be in step with each other." Wootten joined Pearson's team after seeing the Olympic hopeful's Facebook post and when she talked about having trouble finding a person with whom to train.
