Chris knew his life would change, and implemented the philosophy “Improvise, Adapt and Overcome” from boot camp.

With that philosophy, Chris has pushed on and shown everyone, that no matter what your circumstances, you can put a smile on your face and move on. Chris maintains a daily workout including hand-cycling.  Keeping active has helped him stay positive.  He says “when I work out, I’m competing against my physical fitness and myself, not my disability.
