From adversity to achievement: Chris Waddell’s inspiring journey
How Chris Waddell found strength in resilience
A skiing accident changed Chris Waddell’s life, but it didn’t stop him. He became a 12-time Paralympic skiing medalist, a wheelchair track champion, and summited Mount Kilimanjaro. Today, he’s a hall of fame athlete, motivational speaker and advocate.
Chris knows that life is unpredictable. That's why we’re partnering with him to help distribution partners, employers and employees understand the value of teaming up with a carrier that can adapt to the needs of workplaces today for the workforce of tomorrow.
