Currently Listening to Chantal Kreviazuk - All I Can Do
A couple weeks back, i stumbled upon a personal blog written by Mark T. McCarter [http://confessionsofasnowballinhell.blogspot.com/] whom i fondly call Master Geek these days, he calls me Little Geek, so all is fair between us! All i did was, i left a comment in his blog and that was it. A week later, i received a thank you email from him thanking me for my kind words and how it left an impact on him.
40 years ago, Mark was born prematurely, and the nurses in the hospital made a very huge mistake by not supplying oxygen to his incubator which caused him to develop Cerebral Palsy, and resulted him to have trouble walking up to today. Initially told he was never gonna walk again, but with the iron determination in him, he was able to walk with the help of forearm braces and leg crutches. He still needs to attend therapy these days while struggling with a full time job on his hands. It's not an easy thing to deal with especially when old age is catching up with him, and going through a rough patch to complete his life.
He decided set up a website called Team Walk Now to help him achieve his dream of being to walk without the aid of his crutches for the first time in his life. His ultimate goal is to walk a mile in all 50 states in the United States by the end of 2008, without his crutches of course! Promotional works are in progress and the first walk is going to officially kickstart in 8-11 weeks time! All i ask you guys to do is visit http://teamwalknow.com/ and give him support and words of encouragement to go through the trial and tribulations that he's going through at the moment. :)
