that simply put, brought tears to my eyes. your friend, Michael is certainly a fighter! what my father (a quadraplegic for 27 yrs) wouldn’t give to have the use of his hands & the strenght to hold his torso upright! i know he’d give up just about anything to experience what Michael can. as difficult as it seems to accomplish, it must be sooo rewarding for him.
shooting in b/w really got me wrapped into your work. a wonderful story you have presented. i thank you both.

this video made my day, sometimes we forget to thank God for being so generous with us. too bad we only realize this when we see people like Michael, people that, despite their problems, are twice as powerful than we ever will or could be! so don’t whine, stop complaining and don’t make excuses for who you are or for something you can’t do. take his example instead and you’ll see anything it’s possible, there are no barriers when you truly want something!

A really moving film. Reminds me a lot of a film called LOVE by a band called Angels and Airwaves, the similarities in camera work and lighting coupled with narration blow me away. Check it out if you can. Great work, very inspirational.

I need to live and to enjoy life, enjoy the fight happens in life and living recklessly. I want to enjoy the experience without harming anyone (oktaykaman hotmail_facebook.com sports and fitness expert-mountaineer-wellnesscoach-football coach-athletic trainer

Life is about experiencing.
Border or a trail of memories,
a hope or dreams

I actually saw this for the first time a year or so ago and i’ve loved it ever since. To say that it leaves you with a good feeling is such an understatement.
