Love the video Will! Your story is amazing! You ever think of doing motivational speeches for high schools? I think your message could really hit home with a lot of students...and adults for that matter.

Cool video. I have a friend of mine that is very involved in the adaptive scene. He helps at a camp every year and has done lots of motivational speaking. He was a para olympic medalist back in the day and still does pro wheelchair racing.
Your story made me remember some pics that Craig just posted up a few weeks ago from a day at the adaptive camp. I figured you might enjoy them. I haven't had a chance to get craig out on my boat as I've only had it for a couple of months. But I'm sure I will. I have went hand cycling with him though (I was on my regular road bike) and I've been rock climbing with him too.
And our favorite: The handstand!

The Lord works in mysterious ways. I've previously not had any way to relate to someone with challenges like yours because it hasn't happened to anyone within my inner circle. Seeing this video just days ago has taught me a lot about what you have to overcome on a daily basis. How important it is to overcome. To find that inner motivation.
And then today one of my life-long friends, who was a roommate in college, and is currently a co-worker had a motorcycle accident, and is paralyzed from the waist down. He was sitting at a red light and was broad-sided by an SUV. His spinal cord is severed.
Without seeing this video, I would feel even worse than I do right now. I'm praying hard, but I know he has a very tough road ahead. He's a single dad with 50% custody of an 11 year old. But after seeing what you've been able to do, I have some hope. When the time is right, I'll show him this video. Thanks for being a part of the video. Thanks for overcoming. Thanks for being an inspiration to others.

What an awesome video. Not many people have the courage or drive to do things like that... congrats to you. It's hard to have a bad day sometimes when you put things into perspective and think about how good you might actually have it. What an awesome story. Mind if I share that with others?
