Growing up poor and Latino in Chicago, James Lilly dreamed of becoming a professional athlete, but he got sidetracked into the world of drugs and gangs. At the age of fifteen, he was shot in the back and paralyzed. Now, James works to help inner city school kids stay on the right track by sharing his story, and by talking about one thing that helped him move on—wheelchair racing.
