Disability:
Traci was left paralyzed from the chest down after a car accident. A year later, after gaining 70 lbs due to a thyroid problem, she felt depressed and unsure of how she could possibly take that much weight off from a wheelchair.
Ability:
Not long after, a gym opened up right by Traci's house. She thought that with a little help she might be able to use their machines to get some of the weight off. Joining the gym turned out to be one the best decisions she ever made. Not only does she workout, she also gets to help other people as well.
Being able to tell them "I know how you feel" or "I've been there before" gives them the hope and the determination they need. After all, if a C 6-7 quadriplegic can do it, so can they. No crying & no excuses.
