If left to their own devices a child will achieve.

It's an objective fact that I am a double amputee, but it's very subjective opinion as to whether that makes me disabled.

The power of the human will to compete and the drive to excel beyond the body's normal capabilities is most beautifully demonstrated in the arena of sport.

I hate the words 'handicapped' and 'disabled'. They imply that you are less than whole. I don't see myself that way at all.

Life is about making your own happiness - and living by your own rules.

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that's not the case; our insecurities are our disabilities, and I struggle with those as does everyone.

The legs that I have made are far more perfect than the ones nature would have given me - my mother's side of the family have awful legs.
