'The night
before my amputation, my former basketball coach brought
me a magazine with an article on an amputee who ran
in the New York Marathon. It was then I decided to meet
this new challenge head on and not only overcome my
disability, but conquer it in such a way that I could
never look back and say it disabled me.'
