Overview
Whether they’re winning Olympic gold medals or climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, these disabled athletes are reaching new heights.

The text celebrates record-breaking athletes that young readers may never have heard of but won’t soon forget, whose accomplishments include walking to the North Pole, setting a National Football League record that stood for forty years, and many more. Although these athletes’ disabilities vary, they all have one thing in common: they’re making history at the top of their game.
