New York Times bestselling author of "No Excuses," entrepreneur and athlete, Kyle Maynard will bring his inspirational story to Penn State Harrisburg at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 15 in the Capital Union Building (CUB) gymnasium. The event is free and open to the public.

Born as a congenital amputee (arms end at the elbows and legs end near the knees), Maynard's accomplishments, attitude, and outlook continue to amaze and astound. He's a wrestler, weightlifter, mixed martial arts fighter, and reached the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, under his own physical power and determination.

Among many other media, Maynard has been featured on ESPN, CNN, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, and as a cover story in USA Today.
