State Representative Nicole La Ha recently had the opportunity to meet Steve Serio, a 5-time Paralympian with Team USA Wheelchair Basketball, at a local event in Lemont. Following the event, she released the following statement:
“I had the opportunity to meet Steve Serio, a true inspiration and 5-time Paralympian with Team USA Wheelchair Basketball. With three gold medals and a bronze under his belt, Steve exemplifies resilience and determination.
As someone passionate about making life more accessible and equitable for people with disabilities, I admire how Steve uses his platform to demonstrate the power of adaptive equipment. He shows children and their parents that anything is possible, no matter the challenges we face.
Thank you, Steve, for inspiring myself, my daughter Ashlynn, and so many others. We’re grateful for you!”
