True Grit - A New Version

About 2 ½  years ago Kal Rotary member Pippa Shaw (now Pippa Forster) told the club that her son, Mike Shaw, had been involved in a skiing accident that resulted in a broken neck and that he was paralyzed from the neck down.  Over the following months, and now years, she kept the club updated on his progress as he went through surgery and was learning to walk again.  At today’s meeting Mike walked in and showed a video biography of his accident and the physical & mental processes he went through to learn to walk and ski again. The video he showed us can be seen at http://www.redbull.tv/film/AP-1MSKNX6KN1W11/the-healing-agent     This is a fantastic story of what the human spirit can accomplish with a determination that doesn’t quit, a positive attitude and really hard work.
