EIU Basketball Programs Welcome Beautiful Lives Project to Practice
The sound of sneakers on hardwood and the echo of bouncing basketballs have a special meaning for Bryce Weiler.
Born blind, Weiler, co-founder of the Beautiful Lives Project, has dedicated his life to proving that disabilities don't stop dreams, but rather redefine them.
Everyone can be inclusive towards people with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities want to experience sports just as much as anyone else without a disability.
Weiler's goal is to help others see that inclusion in sports creates a space where everyone belongs, and that being inclusive can also benefit organizations by attracting more fans to games.
