An Inspiring Story

I have been meaning to post this for a while. I often watch this video as a reminder to have "more of a vision and bigger dreams," as she says. She is Melissa Stockwell, a friend of mine from college. We rowed together. From Baghdad to Beijing... she is making the most of life. She did not win a medal in the Paralympics, but she has inspired so many. Thank you Melissa for your service and your example!

Thank you for sharing that story about your friend. What an amazing person! I wish I had just a tenth of that determination & drive.
