Former Marine and wheelchair athlete Jake Hipps is among twelve athletes now featured on Cheerios boxes.
Hipps autographed dozens of Cheerios boxes for fellow vets and his co-workers at the Buffalo VA Hospital.
Hipps, a Vietnam-era vet, lost his ability to walk after a shooting in 1994. Shortly thereafter, Hipps began competing in the National Veterans Wheelchair Games. He holds four national records in field events and won three gold medals and one silver medal at last year’s competition.
Hipps has also competed in skiing events, basketball, and bowling competitions. He’s currently learning to SCUBA dive.
