Ben Jackson: Wrestler, Athlete, Inspiration
Benjamin Cummings-Jackson was diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy as a child. Despite his diagnosis, Ben has become a formidable athlete, personal trainer and motivational speaker.
A former wrestler at Pocono Mountain West High School in Pennsylvania, Ben was the face of Gatorade’s iconic #WinFromWithin campaign in 2014. He is a firm believer that from adversity one gains strength, and that every challenge is an opportunity to showcase resilience.
