Adaptive Sports Saved My Life | Letoi Adams' Journey Army Vet

Letoi Adams' story is one of resilience, grit, and unshakable courage. A U.S. Army veteran, truck driver, and now Vice President of Paralyzed Veterans of America, Letoi faced stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that left her in a wheelchair. Instead of giving up, she turned her pain into power becoming a competitive adaptive athlete, motivational speaker, and community leader in Las Vegas. In this episode, Letoi opens up about: • Hearing the words “you have cancer” and fighting back against the odds • Her 4–5 year battle with depression and the moment adaptive sports gave her purpose again • Competing in wheelchair basketball, sled hockey, cycling, and more • Why veterans need visibility, resources, and community support • Her mission to coach, inspire, and open doors for the next generation This is more than a veteran story it's a testament to the human spirit. Whether you're a veteran, athlete, or someone facing life's toughest battles, Letoi's message will remind you: you can rise again.
