Corey Reed

Corey, and avid athlete, loved to snowboard and wakeboard. At 24 he was involved in an alcohol related motor vehicle accident. He was in a coma more than two months and not expected to survive. When he woke up, he’d totally lost his vision, and his right leg was amputated below the knee. He was totally unable to accept the challenges he faced. He remained in angry denial and was unwilling to share his fears when he came to his first Winter XMOGames in 2008. However, during the 2008 Summer XMOGames at Lake Powell he opened his heart and began his emotional healing. You would not believe Corey is blind today if you could watch him wakeboard and snowboard! Corey has become one of Extreme mobility’s greatest advocates and speakers. He shares his story at a wide variety of venues-especially high schools.
