After my amputation, the best thing I did to improve the quality of my life was to start participating in adaptive sports. I was pretty bummed about losing my leg, but I decided to not let it ruin the life I saved (I mean, what's the point of that? Right?)                                                                        

So I've been trying all different kinds of sports and although I have a long way to go to be good at them, I have much more energy, confidence and joy now. And it's not just the activities themselves, but the wonderful instructors, volunteers and other disabled friends I have made. There are a lot of great adaptive programs out there. You just have to look around. Try different activities to find the ones you like. You never know, unless you try... right?
