Disability is a challenge for George Gallego

Born in 1967, at Green point Hospital Brooklyn in New York, George Gallego is an American who represented U.S in more than 30 national and international Triathlon Contests. We all have a hero, whom we copy and aspire to be like him but there are some who are true heroes in actual sense and George is one amongst them.

George Gallego met with an accident at the age of 25; where he fell from the 3^rd floor on the concrete ground that caused him suffer with a spinal injury. He was on a heavy medication that made him gain some extra kilos snatching the life that he used to enjoy before the accident. He used to swim, camp and learn martial arts enthusiastically but now remembering those days made him gain his strength and start exercising again. This made him feel relaxed and more confident and later he participated in Triathlons at national and international level, giving America one more chance to have the pride on its citizens.

Having achieving so much after receiving so severe an injury, George never let this become the reason of his failure and passive lifestyle. Rather he stood up confidence and is working as a mentor in his Organizations which acts as healing centers for those who have suffered some injury and become disabled in some aspect. Here these people are trained to live a normal life in a better way once they get outside the centers. The trainers take care of everything from providing the basic necessities to satisfying them by proposing wheelchairs. Different events, discussions and activities are held where they gain their confidence which the accidents took away. George Gallego himself organize talks and have personal conversation with the people about to get discharged, so that they may hit the society outside with all their strength and confidence.
