Kevin Saunders was an inspiration to us all on the set. He seemed to be a man without limits, a man who gets out there and goes for the gold every time. He is the incarnation of the "Just Do It" principal. Additionally, he is a man of great compassion and empathy for the suffering of others, and as such, transcends the athlete syndrome to become a man of the world and a man of conscience.

In my association with Kevin Saunders, he has demonstrated leadership/mentorship to the youth of this country. By soldering the ideals of personal strength, mentally, physically, and spiritually, has overcome daily adversity, and represented our country on the field of competition. Wisdom comes with age and experience. Few persons have accumulated Kevin's experiences but ALL can benefit from his coaching and teachings.

Saunders has one of the most interesting and heartening stories ever heard. Today, health promotion, fitness, wellness and disease prevention are more and more a part of our national agenda.

Everyone in the country needs to hear the story of Kevin's first wheelchair race! An immediate connection with our student body was made. His performance also held some surprises, laughs and a touch of magic. Then on a more serious and mature level Kevin talked to our students about setting goals and how to achieve them. I believe Kevin Saunders was a hit on our campus because he was very interesting, unpretentious, and sincere. Whatever obstacles a person may think they have, Kevin will challenge them to Never Give Up and better themselves!

Kevin Saunders spoke for our 2010 Men & Boys Retreat in Ark City, KS. WOW! What a testimony! Kevin's God given will and enduring spirit is evident in how he overcame such a tragic and nearly life ending accident and transformed himself and his life into something so powerful and inspiring. He truly shows "There's Always a Way" and his life is proof that we should "Never Give Up". We had a record attendance at this year's event and Kevin touched the hearts of all with his evening message, prepared just for us, on being a "Godly Man and a Real Man", a very important message for guys when the "world" so often points us in the wrong direction. Everyone enjoyed the fellowship opportunities with Kevin after he spoke and as he participated with us in several of our events. Kevin would be a motivating asset, and blessing at any event. We sure feel blessed to have had him share at ours! May God Bless You, Kevin!

We had Kevin Saunders as our Keynote Safety Speaker to celebrate our companies' achievements of going 1,000 days without an accident. Kevin gave us a brilliant presentation as Kevin re-stimulated our employees and left us with 17 goals for safety and other points to be mentioned every day by the management to keep our people focused on safety 1st every morning. Kevin said by putting safety 1st you bring out and create a safe work place, for you and your fellow workers, your families who you care about, who depend on you and the community who greatly benefits from a safe working environment. Kevin took the time to meet each one of our employees, which went above and beyond our expectations.

Your words to our congregation inspired us all and, after the service, many members came and said to me that they had rarely been emotionally touched as they were listening to you that night.

I have known Kevin Saunders for many years and can attest to his courage and determination. I was a member of the Corpus Christi Delegation of the Texas House of Representatives in 1981 when a grain elevator exploded throwing Kevin 300 feet and causing him tremendous injuries. He not only survived, but became a World Champion athlete. It's my honor to represent him in Congress.

Hugo Berlanga,

Texas State Representative

I cannot say enough about how much I appreciated and enjoyed having Kevin Saunders speak to our group, the Texas Association of Community College Marketers, earlier this summer.

Kevin tells his story with a remarkable mixture of gravity, reflection, and even humor. Our entire audience was complete wrapped up in hearing him tell it – the accident, his initial recovery, the enormous hurdles he had to surmount in everyday life and then as he re-launched his athletic career as a para-Olympian. Now this experience would seem pretty remote from most of us who are not world-class athletes. But Kevin made this into an experience that we could understand and to which we could relate. While his story is necessarily unique, he in very sensitive to the many forms of adversity that he shares with people from all walks of life. We have all thought of "giving up" on a particularly daunting challenge. Kevin gives you a new perspective on how to persevere when it becomes particularly difficult.

We were also mightily impressed with the way in which Kevin took the time to learn about our organization--the work we do and challenges we face as community college marketers – and then incorporate what he had learned into his presentation. It certainly helps that he personally is such a great ambassador for community colleges, having completed at one himself. But I had the sense that Kevin would have thrown himself into learning about any organization before which he would be speaking. I can't imagine him being unprepared...in any way.

It was also wonderful to have Kevin sign copies of his book – which is a remarkable and lively read! – and personalize it for us and family members. My eight-year-old son really loved having the booked signed to him and hearing me relate Kevin's story to him. It is such a powerful example for the coming generation(s).

I would have Kevin present before our group again based on my experience in Galveston. I sincerely feel lucky to have crossed paths with him and been able to spend time hearing his story.

I can confirm his message "Never Give Up" was profoundly motivating and encouraging. He was with our basketball teams on the sidelines during an important league contest that evening. In this way, Kevin became an inspiration not just to our students, but to our community.

America likes to find her tough guys in public places, one of those people is, Kevin 'four-wheel drive' Saunders, "There's Always A Way." Few people outside the industry realize how combustible grain dust can be. Kevin Saunders was blown over a two-story building and onto a concrete parking lot, 10 coworkers were dead and the paramedics said the parking lot looked like a battleground. Kevin Saunders fought back and earned the title, "Best All-Around Wheelchair Athlete in the World." With one look at the life of Kevin Saunders, it's obvious why he chose the motto (and autobiography title) "There's Always A Way".

Kevin is not only a passionate speaker and believer, he is a living example of the power that God has given to each and everyone one of us when his son died for our sins over 2,000 years ago. Not even life in a wheelchair could deter Kevin from being an inspiration to so many people worldwide and an authority on overcoming adversity, pursuing excellence and staying fit physically and spiritually. He has used his limitations and with God's help has used his paralysis as a vehicle to inspire other to pursue their goals and make God a priority in their lives.

We brought Kevin Saunders to our facility as our Keynote Safety Speaker. Our employees got to hear his story of how safety, or lack thereof, significantly impacted his life. Kevin made it very clear to our employees that being committed to safety and putting safety first in everything they do at work and home will have a positive impact and ensure that no one else goes through what he has had to go through. His personal experience and perseverance to overcome obstacles after his injury was very motivational. Kevin’s statement "There's Always a Way when you Never Give Up!” applies to a lot of life situations, including safety.

If you're not familiar with the name "Kevin Saunders" chances are you may not be familiar with one of America's greatest stories. He keeps company with presidents, he hangs with action heroes: he's even created a few in his time. Best of all, he's become a living example of what it is to overcome the worst odds and end the one inspired to inspire others to 'Never Give Up' because, 'There's Always A Way.'

We just received the evaluations from all the speakers at the Insight program and you were a big hit! In fact, your speech received the highest score of all 35 speakers. You even outscored the Congressman, Senators and Mayor Emeritus, but don't tell them! Keep going for the gold in all that you do and like you say, "There's Always a Way."

Kevin Saunders’ message on Safety was SPOT ON from the top to the bottom. He kept his audience mesmerized and entertained, and served as a great example of someone who ‘Never Gave Up’ despite his injury on the job due to mechanical malfunction and a co-worker who was complacent, making shortcuts, and making risk decisions on his own.

Kevin Saunders spoke to our football team here at the University of South Florida on June 24, 2009. Anyone who wants a speaker who has awesome stories with an incredible message that will provide the keys to success and how they can be applied to be the best at what you do, then you need to hire Kevin Saunders! He will get the job done right for your professional or college program, school, university or company.

Kevin Saunders, you are an inspiration to those whose lives you touch. I have seldom met a man who wants little for himself, yet is dedicated to the betterment of humankind. Kevin your enthusiastic, caring attitude is one the world should appreciate and encourage to celebrate. I am truly, sincerely proud to know you and have you as a brother. May I most humbly yet candidly say that you have reflected and continue to reflect in your thoughts, actions, and deeds and words the four Great Principles of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. While these four principles were taught to you over the past 14 years, I am proud to say that you are one of the few Brothers who have succeeded in demonstrating them to the world in everyday life.

Kevin, after Roy Clark finished playing his fiddle, you kept our audience of over 10,000 on the edge of their seats with your "Never Give Up Because, There's Always A Way" presentation. The long lines of people waiting to buy your book or just to shake your hand and get a picture are a great testament to your ability to inspire, motivate and lead people to action.

Kevin's story genuinely inspired our field sales force and most importantly it was an unforgettable message. Our employees left the meeting just like a team exits the tunnel on game day, poised and motivated to tackle whatever challenges dare confront them. His message is profoundly unique and multifaceted as it flawlessly addressed our themes of safety, teamwork, and winning together.

Kevin Saunders shared his inspiring testimonial and life experience with the congregation at our 2 worship services which were well attended. His testimony touched so many Members of the congregation so they were able to feel that the will to live and trust in God matters most even when the worst things happen to you. Kevin was invited a second time to share his testimonial with the youth of the area at a Joint Church Service and many young people left that night, deeply moved and changed, because through Kevin's inspiration God was able to touch many young lives that night.

Your message was so strong, powerful and one that is important and needed to be heard by your congregation and worldwide audience of over 20 million. I'm sure your inspirational message of "There's Always a Way" touched millions of hearts as our audience saw how God has used you to be a great inspiration to show others that with God anything is possible.

Our United Way solicitation campaign came on the heels of very difficult economic times for our industry, and we were quite skeptical as to whether we would be able to achieve the high goals that we had set for ourselves. Thanks to the inspiration that we received from Kevin, we not only met our goal, but we exceeded it by more than five percent. This goes to show, as Kevin puts it that, "There's Always A Way".
