Ezra Frech was born without most of his left leg (missing a knee & fibula) and missing fingers on his left hand. When he was two years old, Frech had surgery to remove his lower left leg & transplanted a toe from his amputated foot onto his left hand at @bostonchildrens. He received a prosthetic leg when he was eleven months old.  Today, Ezra is 17 & is already a US Paralympian who competes in the high jump, long jump & 100m. He is a double silver Parapan American Games medalist in 2019, a 2x US Champion & a 5th place finisher at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021.  He is also a motivational speaker and disability rights advocate. He co-founded a nonprofit, Angel City Sports,  that provides sports equipment, training, and competition opportunities for people with physical disabilities.
