Winning
What would your life be like if all of a sudden you could no longer walk, run, jump or use your arms? Your whole body isn’t working the way it had been just the day before.
What would you do? Would your friends still hang with you? Would you go to the same school? How would you feel about yourself?
Gary Madden was the star football player of his high school team. All the girls wanted to date him and all the boys envied his athletic skill. Colleges were looking to him as a valued addition to their teams. Gary had it all. He was excited about all that his future could hold. But after a bizarre accident, this superjock winds up in a hospital bed completely paralyzed.
His family and friends give him good wishes and great support which help, but Gary is still left with himself: alone, bed-ridden and unable to move his body. He starts to question his life as a “quad”. Is it really worth it? Gary moves through mountains of emotional lessons and hard physical therapy to find a place deep in himself that is willing to live life in a whole new way.
