My new
life as a “T11 para incomplete”
began the night of July 17,
2005. Maybe those words don’t
mean much to you, but they came
to define me . . . At least for
while, until I found myself
again—a new and stronger version
of the old me—one who knew I
could pretty much deal with
whatever life threw at me.

by a young boy to

his mother's heart rate
by demonstrating a
newfound ability to ride
a bicycle without
clutching the

however, it's the chosen
slogan for a
quadriplegic to
demonstrate some of what
can be accomplished
sans hands. Also

When
you first hear the words
"GridIron
Heroes"
a picture of football's
greatest players is most likely
the very first image that
appears in your mind. What if
you were told that there is a
group of young men who will
never have the opportunity of
playing football again? In fact,
these young men are struggling
to merely survive the day to day
challenges they face in having
to live with a Spinal Cord
Injury.

me is a
panacea."
