Meet Bowen, an athletic and talented 12-year-old who lights up every room with his smile. Bowen is an all-around athlete who loves football, baseball, basketball, and lacrosse. He’s a devoted fan of all Atlanta sports teams and was the proud 2024 Fantasy Football Champion in his league!
Bowen was living his normal, active life until halfway through 2024 when he got sick with what seemed like a routine case of strep throat. Unfortunately, the illness took a devastating turn when the infection entered his bloodstream, causing his body to go into septic shock. This led to the life-altering loss of his right arm and introduced a number of unexpected challenges.
Despite everything, Bowen is determined to return to his active lifestyle and continue playing the sports he loves. He is working hard to adapt to his new normal, relearning daily tasks and starting the process of getting a prosthetic. His positivity and resilience have been his greatest strengths, inspiring everyone around him as he takes on this journey with courage and determination.
Bowen’s ultimate dream is to attend the NFL Draft and proudly call out the Atlanta Falcons’ first pick on day one of the event. His unwavering spirit and love for sports remind us all that even in the face of adversity, dreams have the power to bring hope, joy, and purpose.
