Aimee MullinsSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Aimee Mullins was born without fibulae and, to better her chances for mobility, doctors amputated both her legs below the knee. Defying all predictions that her physical activities would be severely limited, Aimee learned to walk on prosthetic legs by her second birthday, and spent her childhood excelling in athletic activities: swimming, biking, softball, soccer, and skiing, always alongside "able-bodied" kids with flesh and bone legs.

While attending Georgetown University on a full academic scholarship, she set her sights on making the US Team for the 1996 Atlanta Games and enlisted Frank Gagliano, one of the country's most respected track coaches. Through this partnership, she became the first woman with a "disability" to compete in the NCAA, doing so on Georgetown's nationally-ranked Division I track team. Outfitted with woven carbon-fiber prostheses that were modeled after the hind legs of a cheetah, she went on to set World Records in the 100-meter, the 200-meter, and the long jump, sparking a frenzy over the radical design of her prototype sprinting legs.
