Hi I’m Beatrice de Lavalette, I’m a terrorist attack survivor & Paralympic athlete. I was born and raised in France and Belgium until the age of 18. I grew up an athlete, I played multiple sports and was always active. I now reside in West Palm Beach, FL. Today, I am wheelchair bound due to my accident but that doesn’t mean I’m not an active person or an athlete. After my accident, I thought my life was over but I couldn’t have been more wrong, I have done more in my life and career now than I could have ever imagined before my accident. I was and always will be an athlete.
