Wheelchair athlete lands money from “Secret Millionaire”
By Sean Ammerman
Aaron Fotheringham had always wanted to see the wheelchair sport he coined “Hardcore Sitting” become popular. But he didn’t know how to start.
It took a reality TV show, and the generous checkbook of its star, to inspire the northwest Las Vegas resident to take his dream to the next level.
Fotheringham, a 16-year-old who competes in BMX competitions on his wheelchair, received $20,000 during an episode of Fox’s “Secret Millionaire” that aired Dec. 19.
He plans to start his own business, dubbed Hardcore Sitting Company, to help other handicapped children compete in wheelchair athletics.
