Grab the family for an evening of education & a KC Mavericks hockey game! Determined to play sports from a young age, Seth Rojhani, Patient Educator, shares his story on how he turned "you can't" into "you can," all while developing a great support system along the way.
Seth was diagnosed with severe Hemophilia A, and cancer, on the same day when he was just 6 months old. A complication during tumor removal surgery caused T-2 level paraplegia, and as a result, Seth has used a manual wheelchair ever since. Seth, however, has been determined to lead a healthy and active lifestyle despite his childhood diagnosis.
An avid sports enthusiast, Seth lives in Denver, CO, and plays for the Denver Rolling Nuggets basketball team as part of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA) and has aspirations to play for Team USA in the Paralympics. He also coaches the Denver Jr. Rolling Nuggets team.
Seth has been involved with the bleeding disorders community for the past 20 years, participating in local and national events. Seth has his bachelor's degree in Mechanical/Biomedical Engineering from the University of Central Florida.
