Default Recovered Quadriplegic Gets To Live Dream

Here's a little inspiration to start your weekend:

"The nurses had put me back to bed and I was, laying there, day dreaming about racing Corvettes and playing basketball when my left big toe moved."

The video news report is well worth the 2 mins....and will remind you how special these cars are that we are fortunate enough to have in our lives.

Great story of individual will and perserverance. Will no doubt be motivating for the Wounded Warriors Program.

We always hear "Stuff Happens" Well, sometimes Stuff Happens in a good way. Stories like this give hope to lots of others.

It's a medical miracle and a testament to one's internal fortitude.

A rare miracle, no doubt.
... Rummerfield is no ordinary man and is remarkably the only fully recovered quadriplegic in history
