CHRIS NORTON
Chris Norton knows what it’s like to face adversity head-on. After suffering a spinal cord injury during a college football game, he was given a 3% chance to ever move his body below the neck. Miraculously, he defied the odds, walking across the stage during college graduation and down the aisle of his own wedding. But that was only the beginning of his story—the first steps of a lifelong journey.
In the years since, Chris has made it his mission to spread a message of empowerment in the face of adversity of all types. Today, he is a keynote speaker, author, leads his nonprofit, and foster & adoptive dad. He has been featured by the world’s biggest media outlets and in a feature-length Netflix documentary 7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story. He travels across the country to inspire people from all walks of life and demonstrates how to unlock our abilities within.
Chris currently resides in South Florida with his wife, Emily, 5 children, and dog, Ivory.

MOVIE
7 YARDS DOCUMENTARY FILM
7 YARDS is a feature-length documentary that explores the resilience and perspective of Chris Norton. In October 2010 at age 18, Chris suffered
a debilitating spinal cord injury during a college football game. Doctors gave him just a 3 percent chance to ever move again. But he defied that diagnosis.
After years of physical therapy and training, Chris’ story went viral in 2015 when he successfully walked across the college graduation stage with the help of his fiancée Emily. Video of Chris walking to get his diploma touched the world and has received over 300 million views. Soon after, Chris and Emily set an ambitious new goal: walk seven yards side-by-side down their wedding aisle. The film features powerful interviews, emotional reenactments and real footage from their 2018 wedding. It’s the inspirational comeback story of Chris and his journey from college athlete to medical miracle to viral inspiration and now adoptive father.
