Decide to Live Differently
At age 21 Tanner was in a terrible car accident that left him blind and fighting a brain infection. Struggling to recover, his father reminded him that his situation could always be worse. That pep talk from his father gave Tanner perspective and was a turning point for him.
To help him recover Tanner’s mom guided him through meditations where they visualized removing the infection and focused on believing that things are going to get better and constantly having a positive attitude. Shortly afterwards, he received results from doctors that his brain was healthy. Within months he transitioned into learning how to live independently as a blind man, moved out, and began studying full-time at the University of Arizona.
Tanner was athletic before his accident and jumped at an opportunity to join a blind baseball team. It allowed him to physically express himself on an even playing field and eventually opened up an opportunity to pursue athletics at a Paralympic level. He began training with Arizona Disabled Sports and qualified for the National Championships where he made the national team. At his third track meet, Tanner won an international gold medal in the long jump.
