‘No Legs, No Limits’ For USA Paralympian Roderick Sewell Jackson

He is looking to qualify for the Paralympic World Series and PanPacific Paralympic Games later this year.

Roderick Sewell Jackson was always forced to adapt to adversity — and overcome it.

Growing up without a father in the picture, he had both legs amputated above the knee before the age of 2. He then spent ages 7-12 without a home.

Somehow, he always managed to keep a smile on his face.

“The best thing to do is stay humble and look for the positive,” he said. “It makes you want to do more and do better. I have never let my situation hold me back.”
