Former Ms. Wheelchair USA and a top 5 Miss USA North Carolina contestant, Madeline Delp, shares her journey from boxing to mountain climbing and from swimming with sharks to advocating for a truly accessible world for all. Madeline Delp is the current Miss Asheville USA and is the first woman in a wheelchair to ever compete in Miss North Carolina USA and place in the Top 5.
Her journey of going from being a shy and newly-paralyzed ten-year-old with a spinal cord injury to climbing Mt. Rushmore, BASE jumping, traveling the world and winning Ms. Wheelchair USA in 2017, shows the truth that we can all define our own potential.
As a keynote speaker, she shares this message with anyone dealing with life “disabilities” across the USA. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
