The landmine dashed his chances of playing professional baseball and tried to end his life. Although severely injured, it did not destroy his spirit, and the loss of his legs has never slowed him down. Over his lifetime he has finished many marathons, often taking multiple days to finish. He is the only double amputee to finish the difficult Kona, Hawaii Ironman race without a wheelchair. He “ran” across America on his hands, taking over three years to complete his effort from coast to coast. Bob Wieland is a motivational speaker, who has inspired thousands to break the limitations of a mediocre life! He been speaking professionally and inspiring people for over 35 years. In 2005 he was named among the “Top 100 Sports Stories of the Past 100 Years!” Because his accomplishments are so numerous and so inspiring he is known as “Mr. Inspiration”. His amazing life story will soon be featured in film and coming to a theater near you.
