Keynote Speaker Announcement

Keynote Speaker Jarryd Wallace at the Paralympic Games

We are pleased to announce that our Keynote Speaker for RED Week will be two-time Paralympic medalist and World Champion athlete Jarryd Wallace. Jarryd's pursuit of world-class athletics took a detour at age 18 when he was diagnosed with Compartment Syndrome resulting in the amputation of his leg. Embracing the spirit of "living life to the fullest regardless of circumstances," Jarryd turned his efforts to paralympic sport. He has since set four world records, become three-time World Track and Field Championship gold medalist, become a 12-time US Champion, and won the Bronze Medal in long jump at the 2020 Tokyo and 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
