I enjoy adapted sports, physical therapy, working out, reading, yoga and meditation. I wish I could say all my days are filled with fun and peace, but some days are different, filled with pain and problems, and I need to focus on getting through the day. I get through these days by believing in the love and support of my family and friends, and, I especially depend on my assistants to help me.
