I was involved in a motor vehicle accident that completely changed my life; I was rendered wheelchair bound and was told I would never walk again.
The personal mental and physical challenges were completely overwhelming. However, through the love, faith, support of family, counseling, personal drive and determination allowed me to persevere. I knew that my life would never be the same, but I believed that I was able to improve my quality of life and use my life challenges and personal testimony to encourage others to never give up. Although my ability to walk has been compromised, my love for helping others has never wavered, and letting them know that you can overcome life challenges.
