Feel Good Friday...Against All Odds

Feel Good Friday…Against All Odds

“I am not my body…I am a man…I’m alive, as alive as anyone...Being Alive is being alive…It’s a good thing.” Jim Mclaren

The story of 2 men separated by thousands of miles who share an inspiration is touching and moving. Every once in a while, things will look “hard” to us. Doing school work, exercising, eating right might look “hard”. Hard is waking up after 8 days in a coma and facing the loss of your leg. Hard is being born disabled in a country that kills the children born that way and believes they are a curse on the house. Hard is running a marathon on one leg. Hard is riding a bicycle with one leg…over 600 kilometers in 10 days. Lots of things are hard. I am pretty sure I don’t see most of them in my life.

Here is a 10 minute video of the story of these 2 remarkable men:

And there is a full length feature movie about Emmanuel called Emmanuel’s Gift. I highly recommend it.
