With the wheelchair challenge coming to Akins students at Akins now know the struggle of being bound to a wheelchair.

On Thursday, December 10th Mark Zupan, a paraplegic wheelchair rugby player who also starred in the movie “Murderball” will make an appearance at Akins High School to discuss his experience and challenges from being disabled.

The event will begin at 3:15 pm. Students will need a pass from their 4th period teacher in order to attend this panel like event where students will be able to hear his story and ask questions to Zupan.
