At just three years old, Dominick was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Myopathy. This condition primarily causes muscle weakness, requiring him to wear AFOs and use a wheelchair for longer distances.

Despite these challenges, basketball has always been Dominick's passion. Two years ago, he discovered wheelchair basketball, opening up a world of sports that had previously been inaccessible to him.

Wheelchair basketball quickly became a game-changer for Dominick, bringing him joy, building his confidence, and fostering friendships with teammates who share similar experiences.

However, Dominick faced a significant obstacle – he was using a basketball wheelchair that was much too large for him, making it difficult to compete effectively.

With a Victory Scholarship, Dominick has received a new basketball wheelchair specifically fitted to his needs.

The impact of this scholarship extends far beyond the basketball court. It has provided Dominick with a stronger sense of belonging and community, allowing him to connect with others who share his passion.
