Give us those things and you’ll be surprised with what we can do. We don’t need sympathy, we need equity and accessibility. We have the same wants, goals and dreams as everyone else. My message is to get out there into the world, find your place and show people that people with disabilities are just people too. I want to go to schools and other places and share my story when I’m done writing it. It started out as a story about my life but now it is developing into a motivational book. I am currently writing a book about my experiences growing up. We were best man at each other’s weddings and still remain close today. Camp helped me to be independent, gave me many unforgettable memories and allowed me to make lifelong friendships. They also helped me attend camp as a kid. People with disabilities grow out of their chairs as they get older and we need several of them in our childhood. The Easter Seals helped my family buy wheelchairs when I was younger. I loved to crash my wheelchair into other players when I played hockey. Some of the players and coaches donated items for my auction in support of my fundraiser. I follow the Jays, Leafs and of course our TigerCats! I’ve developed several friendships with some of the Ticat players and coaches. Most people are afraid of heights but I love it! I would like to try skydiving next. Rappelling down a building in my wheelchair is exhilarating! I feel so alive when I do it. Riding rollercoasters wasn’t enough for me. I love to take risks, push myself and show people what I can do.
I wanted to give back to the Easter Seals and when I saw their drop zone fundraiser, it really appealed to the daredevil in me. Why are you choosing to rappel for the 3rd time?
