Chris Norton

Chris Norton is a former American football defensive back who played Division III football for the Luther College Norse. His football career ended in 2010 when he became paralyzed while making a tackle during a kick off in a game against Central College. He was given a 3% chance of ever regaining movement below the neck but has continued to recover some sensation and mobility throughout his body-including his hands, legs, feet and torso.[1] Today he lives in Florida with his wife and 5 kids where he manages his non-profit foundation and works full-time as a motivational speaker.
