Hunter Woodhall steps up on a massive mission to help people with disabilities

Paralympic champion Hunter Woodhall is on a mission to help people with disabilities. The 26-year-old announced his decision to set up a prosthetic office in Arkansas.

Woodhall posted on this Threads account about his aim to make sports prosthetics accessible for everyone, believing running 'is a right, not a privilege'.

Woodhall wrote in the post he posted on his Threads account:

"We’re working on a prosthetic office to make running/sports prosthetics for everyone! Got a bill passed in Arkansas that forces insurance to cover secondary prosthetics, and many other states are following! Going to make running accessible for everyone! Running is a privilege, not a right!"

Although Woodhall didn't open well in the 2025 season, he is far from disappointed. The 26-year-old Paralympic champion shared a video of his practice session for a relay event on Instagram, as he wrote:

"Getting my confidence back! I was pretty disappointed after running a bad season opener. But bad races happen it doesn’t define you, so I went back to the drawing board. Came out and opened a 4x400 for the first time in my life. Ran 46.5 and I’m back where I want to be, gotta keep the pedal down!"

Hunter Woodhall will next be seen in action at the IPC Para Athletic World Championships, scheduled to be held later this year in New Delhi, India.

“Learned to do whatever this is called. Thanks @hunterwoodhall.”

Bersten also posted a video alongside the Woodhall couple, where they performed a little jig. The choreographer captioned the post:

"Out here just groovin!!! @dickssportinggoods @dicksvarsityteam"
