The Amputee Center is beyond honored to announce that American Ninja Warrior Gary Weiland will be joining us as our Keynote Speaker at Amputee Fun Fest 2026 on Saturday, April 25th at the Resiliency Center in downtown Parkersburg, West Virginia.
Gary Weiland is not just an athlete. He is a living testament to what happens when resilience refuses to negotiate. After losing his leg, Gary did not step away from life. He stepped directly into one of the most physically demanding arenas imaginable: American Ninja Warrior, where competitors climb, leap, swing, and defy gravity itself. He has become a powerful voice in the adaptive athlete community, inspiring thousands across the country by proving that limb loss is not the end of strength. It is often the beginning of a new kind.
Gary represents everything The Amputee Center stands for. Courage. Adaptation. Possibility. He transforms obstacles into opportunities and reminds us that the human spirit is far more powerful than circumstance.
His presence at Fun Fest is extraordinary because he brings national visibility, lived experience, and a message that resonates deeply with amputees, caregivers, families, medical professionals, and anyone who has ever faced adversity. To have someone who has competed on a global stage stand here in Parkersburg, sharing his story with our community, is both rare and deeply meaningful.
Thanks to Miller Prosthetics & Orthotics for sponsoring Gary Weiland!
Wrap up the day with an unforgettable 3-hour concert by Division Street from 5:00–8:00 PM! This high-energy band will have the place rocking with great music and a full dance floor, making it the perfect finale to Amputee Fun Fest. Beer, wine, pizza, pretzels, and other snacks will be available for purchase, so come ready to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the night with friends. A minimum $10 donation is suggested for entry—but if that’s not in your budget, don’t worry. Thanks to the generosity of others in our community, everyone is welcome to join the fun! 🎶🍕🍷
