REY'S STORY

Rey Grandoit was only 14 years old when he became paralyzed from the waist down due to spinal meningitis. Despite contracting the bacterial infection and using a wheelchair for mobility, the Boston native didn’t let his circumstances dictate his outlook on life. 

He admits suffering from moments of despair and bouts of depression — believing that his dreams of becoming a professional basketball player and CEO were lost forever. 

But he didn’t give up; instead, he powered through and persevered. For over 25 years, Rey has spoken to audiences telling them his story of overcoming adversity and how he uses his abilities to achieve his dreams.
