Paralyzed Thibodaux man one step closer to walkingHere’s a story about Myron Wright, a former high school athlete who was injured in a 2002 football game when an opposing player slammed him from behind.

Before attending Project walk, he had limited range of motion and his doctors told him that the shape of his body was resembling a wheelchair.

“The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.”
