Parker Byrd
- bio -
A true testament to perseverance and resilience, Parker Byrd is an inspiring athlete and advocate. As a baseball player for East Carolina University (ECU), Parker’s journey has been marked by determination, faith, and an unwavering spirit.
In 2022, Parker faced a life-altering challenge when a boating accident resulted in the amputation of his right leg. Despite this, he remained steadfast in his dream of playing college baseball. Through relentless hard work, the support of his teammates and family, and his never-quit attitude, Parker became the first NCAA baseball player with a prosthetic leg. His story has touched countless lives, demonstrating that adversity does not define one’s potential—it fuels it.
Beyond the baseball field, Parker is a passionate advocate, using his story to inspire others to overcome obstacles and pursue their dreams. His message of perseverance and hope aligns deeply with the mission of Aces for Autism, making him an extraordinary guest speaker for this event.
We are honored to welcome Parker Byrd as he shares his powerful journey of resilience, determination, and triumph.
