I love public speaking. Most impressionable is speaking to children, especially kids that have never been exposed to or even spoken to a person in a wheelchair. Recently, I met Alex, who asked if he could shake my paralyzed hand and tell me how inspired he was by my story. For little Alex, the bravest 10-year-old I have ever met, has acute lymphoblastic leukemia type III, a rare and very fatal type of blood cancer that he has been battling for five years.
