Foster Andersen

 

Foster Andersen's life is a testimony to the boundless strength of the human spirit. Although he found himself a C5-6 quadriplegic after a motorcycle accident at seventeen years of age, Foster refused to be defeated by his initial depression, frustration, anger, cynicism, and hopelessness. With the support of family and friends, and most of all, through his tenacious will to survive and continue a creative and productive life, he began formulating new goals and transforming his situation into a "Second Life."

 Leslie A. Johnson ~ Dad on Wheels

 

With a background in advocacy and social work with people with disabilities, I am committed to advance information and education to everyone. I believe in knocking down walls, barriers, and stereotypes.
As technology grows, so does the advancement of information online and the education through each keystroke. My objective and goal is to reach out through the superhighway of technology and bring each individual together with networking, education, and information.
Every person with a disability has a story and his or her story needs to be shared with everyone. If you have a story and need assistance in writing or anything please do not hesitate to contact me. If you have news, opinions, ideas, or anything to share, please contact me at dadonwheels@ymail.com.
