“We are extremely proud to have Evan as a member of Team Wheaties,” said Jeff Tang, marketing for Wheaties, in a General Mills press release. “His remarkable attitude toward overcoming adversity is truly inspiring. We are honored to celebrate his athletic accomplishments, as well as the strength, courage, and generosity that define him as a role model to other athletes.”
