Following his accident, the phrase, “If God’s in your dream, no request is too extreme” became Bob’s encouragement to start a youth camp and get involved in wheelchair sports. This led him to start the Ironwood Springs Christian Ranch and the National Wheelchair Sports Camp. He is a national motivational speaker author, and coach. Bob and his wife, Jode, have 4 grown daughters, 3 son-in-laws, and 6 grandkids. Learn more about Bob at: https://bobbardwell.squarespace.com/ [https://bobbardwell.squarespace.com/]
