The Alison McWeeny Story

She lost a leg in a boating accident on a July 4th vacation trip with friends. Her leg was amputated below the knee. That’s bad enough, but before the accident she was a competitive powerlifter.

Most people will try to find any reason to stop pursuing their goals. They have the case of the “I don’t wannas” or “There’s not enough time” or even “It’s too hard”.

Do you think Alison ever gives those kind of excuses?

Don’t let obstacles stop you from doing what you love or achieving your goals. You have to break down those barriers and overcome the adversity placed before you. You are as tough as you allow yourself to be. 

This is motivation. This is Alison McWeeny’s story.

If I ever lose a leg, or an arm, the first thing I’m going to do is cry about it. For a short while. And right after I’m done crying I’m going to get back to the gym and beat everyone’s asses with my prosthetic limb.

   No excuses. Never say “I can’t.”
