"The first thing we heard when he was born was him taking a breath and then crying, which was unbelievable," his mother, Shelly, recalled. Noah had to have numerous surgeries and medical procedures, including one to place a drain into his head to clear the cerebrospinal fluid pressing on his brain. Noah quickly shattered every boundary his doctors had placed on him.

His spina bifida has left Noah paralyzed from the chest down, and he required the use of a wheelchair, but that hasn't slowed him down.
