to get kids on bikes. Diagnosed as a toddler with an Autism Spectrum Disorder and considered non-verbal

with an autism spectrum disorder, to be recruited by a collegiate athletic team. A rising senior at Belmont
Abbey College, in Belmont, NC, Harrison is pursuing a degree in Sports Management. His goal is to
continue his work in the non-profit field and further explore the ways that sports can impact lives.
