The next STEPS!

So, Wednesday became the next big step on this journey. As you will see below we attempted to walk with one crutch on my right arm. This turned into quite a successful attempt. After a few practice steps my confidence allowed my Physio's to let me free, although they are hanging on to the back of me it is only for safety. I apologize for the small video.....




PS. Please get your tickets for the benefit - either from my directly or by contacting Earls, We have some great Silent Auction and Live Auction items catering to all. Hope to see you there!

Joel,

You never cease to blow people away. I know you think you dont deserve all the praise and what not for your accomplishments, but you deserve it more than any person I know. You have carried on where others would give up; smiled where others would cry; and made peace in a very stressful situation. You are a role model to many people and an inspiration. And it is your continued beliefs and support that will keep you going until you are walking without the crutch, then running. I am looking forward to racing you.
