Episode: #156 Tucker Dupree
Description: Tucker Dupree is a 3x Paralympian (2008, 2012, 2016) and 4-time Paralympic medalist (1 Silver & 3 Bronze) in 3 different events (50 Free, 100 Free, and 100 Back).
When Tucker was a senior in high school, he was diagnosed with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare disease that, in the span of just a few months, took 80% of his vision away.Â
Prior to his diagnosis, he didn't really know what the Paralympics was all about or how it worked.
Tucker is a World Champion, a highly regarded clinician with Fitter & Faster, and BP's new Community Management Advisor.
