Video of the week....with a side of advocacy...

[fordwheelinman]

I'm sure by now some of you that watched the video think I'm a raving idiot that never needs to post videos again. I can say this with certainty because of the things that I have witnessed and have myself done. Needless to say this video is the reason I have changed my views about people with "disabilities". Since being together with my wife, I have learned more about these individuals, learned to respect them, and become an advocate for them. If this video shows nothing else, it shows that with a little love and support anyone can achieve their dreams. No matter what society says they can or can not do. FYI, if anyone feels the need to congratulate "that retarded guy", saying that would only show your own ignorance and indifference so I suggest keeping those types of comments to yourself

That was awesome.... those of us that contemplate career change because we are looking a better job with a better boss or better customers needs to watch this guy and take a lesson. What an inspiration.

I loved when he said "I've won more medals than Michael Phelps". I encourage everyone to volunteer at a Special Olympics event. It will change your idea of what is "too hard".
