Meet James Gouch: A Journey of Resilience

James Gouch’s journey began with the tragic loss of his father at age 4 and continued with challenges like bullying, a learning disability, and later, the loss of his leg and one eye in separate accidents. Despite these hardships, James rebuilt his life, overcoming depression and addiction. In 2003, he founded “Amputees Are Awesome” to empower fellow amputees, sharing his story of resilience and determination to inspire others to rise above life’s challenges.
