US Paralympian Ezra Frech talks charitable endeavors, impact as role model ahead of Paris

American Paralympian Ezra Frech talks to Fox News Digital about Angel City Sports and how P&G has helped the foundation.

Ezra Frech just turned 19 years old earlier this month, but he has turned into one of the top para-athletes for Team USA and is on the verge of making his second Paralympic Games.

Frech was born with congenital limb differences. He is missing most of his left leg and fingers on his left hand. But that has hardly stopped him from competing athletically at a high level while also giving back to his community and raising awareness for other para-athletes.

It was almost three years ago that Frech was competing in the Tokyo Paralympics and nearly took home a medal in the T63 long and high jump events. While he came up short in those competitions, Frech returned to the World Championships and took home a gold in Paris in 2023 and silver in Kobe, Japan, in 2024 in the T63 high jump.

With Frech raising his profile on the para-athletic stage, he was also able to draw more attention to his charitable endeavors.

He and his family founded Angel City Sports in 2013. The Los Angeles-based non-profit organization "provides year-round adaptive sports opportunities for kids, adults, and veterans with physical disabilities or visual impairments," according to its website. It also provides free equipment to those who need it as well as coaching and competitive opportunities.

"It started off as an endeavor to fill a gap in adaptive sports programming in Southern California,"
