When I read stories such as this one I am reminded that attitude trumps just about anything. Incredible spin equivalent, BTW.

I'm trying to get over the dips with 100 pounds strapped to his back.

Sport is a wonderful thing.

23 mph and 140 hits of wheel at max power is amazing. I remember seeing a race on tv and was astonished to see how fast they were moving.

He. Is. Awesome.

I'm always amazed that this is even possible, even though I KNEW a paralympic racer back in the 80s.

Warm Springs Ga is just around the corner from where I grew up. There is a big physical rehab facility there. My Mom was there after a stroke and there were patients from around the world. Warm Springs is also where FDR went for the soothing waters and had his "Little Whitehouse".
