“That’s what made me keep going in those hard times — I knew what I was working for,' Vance Walker, 'American Ninja Warrior' winner, says.
“That’s what made me keep going in those hard times — I knew what I was working for," Vance Walker, "American Ninja Warrior" winner, says.When Vance Walker, 18, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, doctors told his parents he would have to wear leg braces for the rest of his life, and that he would never be an athlete.
When Vance was diagnosed, his mother, Stacey Walker, says doctors said her son would never be able to play sports. Vance defied the odds the doctors gave him when he was just 18 months old and won"American Ninja Warrior" Season 15. When Vance went to school, they say, bullies made fun of him for his braces or how he walked. Vance would walk around the track at his school alone while other children were in groups with their friends. At lunch time, he ate alone.
"There's probably not a Ninja out there who has worked harder than he has to get to where is," Kent says."Seeing him work so hard to be able to accomplish his dream is just — you can't describe it. It's amazing, and we're just so proud.""I know the pain that he is in, and I know what he has to do before he can go out there and even show up," she says.
