The life of Victor Johnell Wright changed forever during a high-school football game in 1976, when the star running back of the sophomore team at John Muir High School in Pasadena, California suffered a spinal injury during a botched play.Psychologists often point to several attitudes people go through when faced with a crisis: fear, denial, anger, acceptance, etc. Victor experienced them all, yet his faith in God and the loving care of his family and closest friends have allowed him to live the past four decades in a way that has inspired thousands and has made him a community treasure.He donates books and audiovisual materials to local libraries and has inspired numerous squads from his high school alma mater to victory. For these exploits, he has received numerous recognitions, including a benefit golf tournament in his name; a commemoration night in his honor, attended by nearly two hundred friends, teammates, and complete strangers; a fiftieth birthday party thrown by his classmates and fellow alumni; and induction to the John Muir High School Alumni Hall of Fame. In 2013, he was ordained a minister by the Association of Fundamental Ministers and Churches.He was one of the first quadriplegics to earn a college degree. He formed a nonprofit organization that provides relief efforts to victims of natural disasters around the world. He donates books and audiovisual materials to local libraries and has inspired numerous squads from his high school alma mater to victory. For these exploits, he has received numerous recognitions, including a benefit golf tournament in his name; a commemoration night in his honor, attended by nearly two hundred friends, teammates, and complete strangers; a fiftieth birthday party thrown by his classmates and fellow alumni; Victor Wright’s story of courage, dedication, and hope is an inspiration to many; his longevity continues to add to his legacy, which will not be soon forgotten.
