Hi everyone, just want to post this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JuRYOhG8hU form a BPI friend that injure at a very young age (15) and even at that young age he never let the injury stop him from trying to go through life doing what the other kid his age were doing. People like Him or Dan or Chris are a good inspiration for me and I hope they can help realize the new injure people that ones the storm comes down they will be able to keep on doing most of the things everybody else do, maybe some of them with adaptations or even limitations but at the end life gets back in place.
