Tim Alexander, UAB Alum and former Gang Green president, has inspired those who have followed his journey. Tim became disabled after a car accident in October 2006. He was left paralyzed from the waist down and remained in a wheelchair, unable to stand or walk for ten years. Last year, Tim shocked everyone when he stood for the first time since his accident. With a passion for sports and leadership, he has taken what he’s learned from his own experience to become a motivational speaker and galvanizing force in support UAB Blazers.
