The incredible comeback

While Juke Jackson has dealt with his disability since childhood, Jackson Schop’s story is different. 19-year-old Jackson Schop was a fitness enthusiast who had crafted an impressive physique. However, in 2022, the young bodybuilder met with a horrific snowmobile accident. The accident was so severe doctors had to put Schop in a medically induced coma to save his life.

When Schop woke up, he found he had become partially paralyzed. Schop had lost all function in his left arm, and doctors suggested an amputation. However, the youngster decided against it. After recovering, Schop went back to the gym instead of wallowing in sorrow at his misfortune. Now, just like Luke Jackson, Schop is in the best shape of his life and inspires thousands of people every day.
