From the very beginning, the Pease family found a way to include each family member in everything they did. “When there is a wheel there is a way” was the family motto, and ‘Together We Wheel!’ was their battle cry.
In this heartfelt keynote the Pease brothers entertain audiences with stories about growing up Peasey, and how it meant living a life of doing all within your power to succeed, and to also ensure that no single person is ever left on the sidelines.
They show attendees the profound ways a family proved that by illuminating and including individuals with disabilities they were able to find and reveal who they truly are.
Through the Pease brothers’ unbreakable bond, they show us how individual and team focus, determination, and spirit are the keys to achieving and accomplishing feats others might say are impossible. Their incredibly inspirational story of brotherly love and desire for inclusion will instill hope and provide guidance for corporations, students, educators, faith-based groups, athletes, moms, dads, and special needs individuals.

In this speaker profile, we’ll delve into the remarkable story of Kyle and Brent Pease, the organization they founded, and the incredible impact they’ve had on the world of adaptive sports and inclusion.
Kyle and Brent Pease were born in Atlanta, Georgia. While growing up, their bond as brothers only deepened, and they shared a common love for sports. However, when Kyle was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at an early age, it became evident that life would present unique challenges.
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects muscle coordination and body movement. Despite the diagnosis, Kyle’s spirit remained undaunted, and he continued to strive for physical and mental growth, inspired by his brother Brent’s unwavering support.
Brent’s commitment to supporting his brother was unwavering. Together, they embarked on a journey to break down the barriers that separated Kyle from the sports they loved. They sought to overcome physical limitations and misconceptions surrounding disabilities. This quest led them to triathlons, a grueling and demanding sport. In 2011, Kyle and Brent Pease completed their first triathlon, the Publix Georgia Half Marathon. This event marked the beginning of their remarkable journey into the world of endurance sports, a journey that would eventually establish them as icons of inclusivity.
The Pease brothers’ dedication to fostering inclusivity in sports didn’t stop at their own participation. In 2013, they founded the Kyle Pease Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities through sports.
The foundation provides assistance, support, and inclusive opportunities to athletes with disabilities, creating a sense of belonging and empowerment within the sports community. The Kyle Pease Foundation’s work transcends the world of sports, raising awareness and advocating for the rights and opportunities of individuals with disabilities.
Over the years, Kyle and Brent have achieved astonishing feats in the world of endurance sports. They’ve completed numerous marathons, Ironman races, and other challenging events, consistently proving that their physical limitations are no match for their indomitable spirit.
Their determination has not only inspired the disabled community but has gained recognition on a national and international scale. They were awarded the ESPY Award for the Best Male Athlete with a Disability in 2018, a testament to their incredible achievements and influence.
The story of the Pease brothers has far-reaching implications beyond the world of sports. It serves as a reminder that determination and the support of loved ones can overcome even the most daunting obstacles. Their efforts have reshaped the landscape of adaptive sports, leading to greater opportunities and awareness for individuals with disabilities.
Through the Kyle Pease Foundation, they have touched the lives of countless individuals, providing adaptive equipment, coaching, and a supportive community for aspiring athletes. Their message is clear: disabilities do not define a person’s limits.
The journey of Kyle and Brent Pease is a story of courage, determination, and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood. Their remarkable achievements in the world of endurance sports have shattered stereotypes and barriers, proving that anything is possible with the right mindset and support.
Beyond their athletic accomplishments, the Kyle Pease Foundation continues to advocate for inclusivity and support for those with disabilities. Kyle and Brent Pease are not just athletes; they are beacons of inspiration, lighting the way for all who face adversity, demonstrating that through dedication and unity, individuals can triumph over life’s greatest challenges. Their legacy serves as a testament to the infinite potential that resides within each of us.
