Off the subject of skiing, this is an email I received from a friend about a paralympic hopeful named Rohan Murphy. The video tells all...if you feel inspired by Rohan pass it along.
'Amazing awaits. It awaits in athletes like Rohan Murphy, a Paralympic hopeful and student athlete at Penn State University, who has one goal in mind: Competing in powerlifting at the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, China.
Murphy is defying the odds. Born with a birth defect resulting in the amputation of both of his legs, Murphy doesn't know the word "can't." He also doesn't make excuses.
Murphy's athleticism and can-do attitude is now being featured in a new Nike commercial themed "No Excuses." The video can be found on the attached web-link – www.usparalympics.org. Please join us in distributing the link to friends, family and business partners in an effort to identify and increase the number of persons with physical disabilities active in sport by making them aware of what's possible.'
Amazing awaits!
