Manny Rios is a young man who graduated from high school this year. But he's an exceptional and inspirational young man. When he was 14 years old, he fell off his bike and suffered Traumatic Brain Injury. He vowed to walk at his graduation. And that he did. This year. I won't go into details, because the youtube video says it all.
He hopes to be more independent now that he is out of high school and his family is hoping to get him a service dog.
Here is the YouTube video Graduation Walk
And here is the link if you'd like to donate to help his family get him a service dog.

In June 2012, I contracted viral meningitis. I ended up paralyzed and on a respirator. There was some doubt that I would walk again, and if so, it would take two years for me to walk "normal enough," but I was able to do so in one year. I am still improving, for I am not completely recovered. This blog is to chronicle my experience recovering from spinal cord injury and pass along inspirational stories of others who faced medical situations.
