Kath at Pine Beach Park Summer of '99. My electric wheelchair got me everywhere I had to go.
My Angel Greg...who's lifelong support turned my life around. Thanks to his help I found our new home, battled difficult medical barriers and wheelchair barriers, and found Dr. Scrase (just to mention a few).. Greg is the unsung hero in this miracle story. Greg, we now have a family...and a life...a million thank you's!
Kath Summer 1999 - Braced back, arms, and legs.
Summer 2000 with Joey (he used to ride on me all the way to Dr. Scrase's).

Starting to walk, even in winter conditions!
Happy Birthday May 1t 2002. I can drive again...with hand controls.
May 10, 2002 - My little angel grandson Isaac is born healthy! I can hold him in my arms. Dreams really do come true. My strength grew as Isaac grew.

Christmas 2002 - I can hold my 18lb grandson up high!
I've changed my wheels.....from a four wheel chair, to a two wheel mountain bike. This was taken this summer(2003) I had not rode a bike since I was a young teen. What a dream!
