"We don't want them just to walk," he said. "We want them to run and to ski and to do whatever it is they'd like to do."My heart and prayers go out to every one of our strong and courageous heros recovering from injuries. And I'm so glad that they can see firsthand how much we all support them.

Wow, I wished I was there!
I was a blind and handicapped skier instructor in college, it was one of the most awesome experiences I've had.
Got my start in PT that way too.
Great post, Sandrat!

Thank you SandRat for this thread!
I'm a downhill skiier myself. So, I really appreciate hearing this.

This is great!
Our barn works with a riding program for the Special Olympics. We have found that there is a work-around, an adjustment, or an alternative for almost ANY disability to get them on the ponies.
Given enough thought, determination, and good old American know-how, I think a way can be found for these guys to do whatever they want to do.
