Meet Our 2021 Day of Action Virtual Keynote Speaker!

Robert Anthony is a USA Paratriathlete, a USA Amputee Soccer player, USA Sitting Volleyball Development player, Para Spartan Competitor, and much more!

Robert was born with a birth defect called "Fibular Hemimelia" which led to an amputation at 10 months old. He says growing up wasn't easy without a consistent father figure, being a victim of abuse, and enduring a house fire that changed his life.

Today, as a father and husband, Robert turned his many tests and challenges into his testimony.

He has traveled across the country speaking at conferences, corporations, and to more than 100,000 students. He has spoken at companies such as CNBC, NIKE, Marathon Petroleum, & the US Dept of Housing.

Robert currently travels the world with his nonprofit providing prosthetic legs for underprivileged amputees.

His message is "Lead With Love" and with a Positive Mental Attitude "Anything's Possible."

Featuring special guest- Odicci Alexander!
