Bike Injury Turns To Determination

I think we can all learn something from a man with this kind of tenacity. He went over the handlebars when his front wheel got stuck in a gap, and now he is re-learning how to control his body after the accident injured his spinal cord. This is an amazing story.

And he's not alone. We can follow the example of Mike Utley, who puts every ounce of energy he has to bounce back from an injury that left him in a wheelchair, starting a foundation along the way help people like him. It's enough to make a person feel like anything is possible.

Take time to think about what you have, even down to the simplest thing. Some don't have even that. Some have to put as much effort into walking down the hallway as you put into riding the half-pipe or looping Lake Washington. We have a lot to be thankful for, and each person measures it differently.

But it's worth the measuring!
