“LRO is the story of able-bodied individuals, working in concert with those with spinal cord injury, to motivate each other with the inspirational message of achievement in the face of extreme adversity. Life Rolls On utilizes action sports through our flagship program, They Will Surf Again, which pushes the boundary of possibility for those with spinal cord injury (SCI).”
Ambassador for Life Rolls On Foundation Briana Walker – http://www.brianawalker.com/ :
Briana Walker
(Okay this was excuse to get a picture of a hot babe on my blog)
Type of Injury: T11/T12 as a result of car accident, August 11, 2002. Driving in Orange County, Briana fainted at the wheel causing her to drive head on into the center divider pillars at 75 mph.
What Motivates You: Before my accident I waited for life to happen and let things just fall where they may. Now, I am making life happen for myself and getting the most of out every single day.
“Instead of giving up on her passion for dance, she acted on her personal mantra, “No matter what life throws at you, choose to dance anyway,” and founded the first wheelchair hip hop dance troupe with Auti Angel, a wheelchair dancer who inspired Briana.”

I Think of my mom when you show those with “challenges” – no ribs on one side, only one lung, a stiff leg shortened 3″ – all a result of TB in the 40’s. She was amazing – drove car until she was in her 80’s!

People like you mother, and everyone on the “disabled” and “handicapped” videos I have posted, should serve to teach us that our greatest disability is in our heads, and our hearts, not our bodies.
