DEFYING ODDS -
Mission.
Lance is driven by two overarching goals: to defy expectations and to inspire others. He wants to prove those wrong who ever doubted him. Lance has a chip on his shoulder, and he fully intends on continuing to defy the odds. On top of this, Lance’s biggest goal is to inspire others. He wants to use his platform to spread the word of his values. He wants to show people with disabilities, and anyone that has faced skepticism, that if they work towards their dreams with determination and heart, anything is possible. In the future, he aspires to start a race team focused on attracting athletes with spinal cord injuries, offering them the thrill of racing and fostering a sense of empowerment and competence. In essence, Lance's journey embodies resilience, determination, and a steadfast commitment to making a difference both on and off the track.
Values.
Central to Lance's philosophy is the notion that perspective shapes our experiences, recognizing that while there may be someone seemingly more fortunate, there are also those facing greater challenges. He finds it crucial to understand your perspective so that you can be appreciative, and take advantage of the opportunities that are in front of you. Lance is also an avid believer that optimism and hope will take you a long way. But at the end of the day, he understands that things don’t come easily, and it takes hard work and a bit of grit to make dreams come true.
