Michelle Wheelers spinal cord injury occurred when she was one year old due to a domestic violence situation with my birth parents. Once they took her out of there, she was put into foster care for a little bit, moved around a few times, and got adopted when she was nine. Her parents also adopted five other children with disabilities, my siblings. They threw me right into sports. We travelled down to the Bennett Blazers Institute in Maryland, where we would spend the entire day doing different sports—swimming, wheelchair football, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis, table tennis, wheelchair racing. I was good at every sport I did. Yen Hoang born March 8, 1997) is an American wheelchair racer, who won two medals at the 2019 Parapan American Games. She came second at the 2021 Chicago Marathon and third at the 2021 Boston Marathon, and competed at the delayed 2020 Summer Paralympics.
