Additionally, Jorge is a 2021 Tokyo Paralympics hopeful, University of Texas alumn, and recent MBA graduate from Keller School of Business.
At the young age of 8, Jorge was diagnosed with Osteogenic Sarcoma in his left femur which left him with the tough decision to have his leg amputated above the knee. He overcame a total of 23 surgeries, a near-death experience, and 2 years of chemotherapy. Currently, he is training for a spot on the 2021 Tokyo Paralympic Basketball team while playing professionally in Gran Canaria.
“If you want something you have to go and get it. Period. We all face obstacles in our life, in the end it’s all about how we face these challenges and taking daily steps to become the best version of ourselves while uplifting others.”
