Shelby Perry's journey is one of resilience, transformation, and impact. Once caught in the grip of addiction, she took a leap of faith that changed everything. But just as she was rebuilding her life, an unexpected accident forced her to face yet another life-altering challenge—the loss of her eye. Instead of letting trauma define her, Shelby used it as fuel to create a global movement that empowers others.

At 14, Hanna’s life changed in an instant. A back injury during field hockey—a sport that defined her—left her unable to move. “In that moment, my whole world fell apart,” she recalls. The physical pain was one thing, but the emotional toll was even greater. Suddenly, she wasn’t an athlete anymore. She was lost, disconnected, and struggling to understand who she was without the thing she loved most. Her search for belonging led her down difficult paths—partying, unhealthy relationships, and moments of deep self-doubt. “I didn’t feel like I fit in, and I didn’t know how to express it,” she shares. “So, I just tried to escape.” But Hanna’s story isn’t one of defeat. It’s a story of rising.
