What an inspiring episode today! Zion Clark is an All-American wrestler, MMA fighter, Guinness World Record holder, author, and globally recognized motivational speaker. He is also the subject of an Emmy Award-winning Netflix documentary.

Born with Caudal Regression Syndrome, a rare condition that left him without legs, Zion Clark stands just over three feet tall and weighs 110 pounds, yet he competes against able-bodied athletes in both wrestling and MMA.

Zion’s story has been featured in major media outlets, including Forbes, Men’s Health, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, NBC, ABC, Fox, and ESPN. He was also a contestant on America's Got Talent!

Born in Columbus, OH, and placed for adoption at birth, Zion faced significant adversity, growing up in the foster care system and enduring constant relocations and hardship. Despite being labeled a "problem child," Zion found solace in wrestling and music, using both as outlets for self-expression and personal growth.

Recruited by several colleges, he attended Kent State University, where he wrestled at the varsity level for two years. Zion’s journey is a testament to perseverance and resilience. His story is a powerful reminder that while life’s challenges are inevitable, success comes from adapting to your circumstances and taking control of your destiny.

Zion will be in Cleveland! You can watch him live at Rumble On The Lake on October 5th! Proceeds will help more kids stay off the streets and hit the mats.

Nicole Ward is the driving force behind the Make Them Know Your Name Foundation (MTKYN). The foundation was established by Denzel Ward, cornerback for the Cleveland Browns, in memory of his father, Paul G. Ward Jr., who passed away in 2016 due to cardiac arrest at the age of 46.

MTKYN's mission is to address the heart disease epidemic by providing CPR training, AED equipment and resources, and community education to promote heart-healthy lifestyles. With nearly half a million Americans dying each year from cardiac arrest, according to the American Heart Association, and a fatality rate of almost 90 percent, immediate CPR can significantly increase survival chances.

MTKYN aims to reduce heart-related fatalities nationwide by offering the necessary resources and education on heart health. The foundation is driven by individuals’ and organizations’ commitment to positively impacting heart disease prevention. Denzel Ward and his family, having experienced the sudden loss of their patriarch, are devoted to carrying on his legacy through this vital work.
