John Bagwell
Community Lead
I have worked for the federal government for 13 yrs in two different agencies. I have been a disability advocate since college, and I was a co-founder of the first disability group at Georgia State University. Before I became disabled in 1990 I was on the varsity tennis team in high school, and now I have adapted to wheelchair tennis. I have other adaptive sports that I want to try, especially wheelchair racing. I am an advocate for people with disabilities in our community. It’s something that is not talked about enough. I’m working with the team to incorporate accessibility in every step of the race.
I joined Front Runners Atlanta for the socializing part, and my membership got me involved in the Pride Run for this year, and I love it!
