Charlie's Story
From Charlie:
Mostly, I feel like nothing can stop me. I mean, when I want something I go after it. I work hard, and I play hard, too. But being hit by a car isn’t something you can control. Luckily, when that happened to me, my dad was nearby. He carried me in his arms to the ER, only a few blocks away. It seemed like forever. I don’t remember much else about that day, but I do remember getting better. My physical therapists were awesome. Soon I was able to stand, then walk, and now I’m back to running. And I can run even faster than before.
