Interview with Bobby Bones

A new show premieres on National Geographic on May 31st called "Bobby Bones". In each half-hour episode, Bobby pursues his own mantra—Fight. Grind. Repeat.—by traveling to far-flung destinations across the country to find people with unique jobs, skills, hobbies and abilities. He meets everyday heroes who challenge him while also exploring the triumphs and tragedies that made these folks who they are today.

Two of those episodes delve into the world of adaptive sports, so Move United sat down with Bobby to talk about the show. Bobby Bones is an American radio and television personality, best known for hosting the nationally syndicated The Bobby Bones Show and for his role as a mentor on American Idol on ABC. He has also written two New York Times best sellers.

One of the episodes features Move United Warfighters Ambassador Lonnie Bedwell, a former Navy Petty Officer who was critically injured in 1997 during a hunting accident that instantly took his sight. He is considered the first blind athlete to kayak the entire 226 miles of the Colorado River that stretches through the Grand Canyon. Lonnie, named the 2015 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, is involved with Team River Runner, a Move United member.
