His message includes humor and motivation as he tells his personal story -- A story that began with a tragic shooting accident has evolved into a lifetime of lessons and victories. Although Mike was paralyzed, his dreams were not. Mike uses a media presentation and his Paralympic medals to teach his "Bulletproof Principles for Success". webmaster@derbycityspinalcord.org (Super Admin) Fri, 25 Nov 2005 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.derbycityspinalcord.org/articles/19/1/The-Mobility-Project/1.html The Mobility Project is a non-profit humanitarian organization, committed to serving people with disabilities who have a wealth of unique gifts to offer their community, but have been hindered from doing so by poverty and the resulting lack of even the most basic mobility aids.
