Who says you Can't?Because Doug sustained a spinal cord injury in his neck, his doctor told him he would never walk, drive a car, or participate in any of the sports he loves. They just labeled Doug as a quadriplegic and told him not to expect much out of life. |

But guess what. Doug didn't believe his doctor. He figured he was
actually pretty lucky. First, he was alive. Second, he is a high-level quad with
pretty much full use of his hands, arms and shoulders. Third, Doug doesn't quit,
just because of a terrible spinal cord injury or people who tell him he
can't.. Today, two years after the accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down, Doug drives a car, lives independently, rides an off-road handcycle, and rafts on white water in a cataraft using a five-point, quick-release harness. Now, just what was it he that can't do? Watch his first time out in the cataraft on YouTube. |
