NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The NCAA Honors Committee has chosen James MacLaren '85 as the 2008 Inspiration Award winner. The award is presented to a current or former coach, administrator or varsity letter-winner who, when confronted with a life-altering situation used perseverance and determination to overcome the event and now serves as a role model to give hope to others in similar situations.
Two years ago, MacLaren established a philanthropic organization with a mission of impacting those in need through inspiration, compassion and accessibility, and providing children, adults and families with the tools to help them engage life at every level. He named it Choose Living. Weeks after graduating from Yale, MacLaren, a football and lacrosse standout and a theatre studies major, was leaving a rehearsal in New York when his motorcycle was broadsided by a bus.
Initially diagnosed as dead on arrival at the hospital, MacLaren was comatose, but stabilized, after 18 hours of surgery. Doctors also amputated his left leg below the knee.
