2 years ago i damaged my spinal cord in a fall and am now quadriplegic. i think i can empathize a little with sam. after 4 months in u-of m hospital i too took my 25 steps. thru much hard work and good therapy i can now hobble around with a cane and ride a 3-wheel bike. i would love to meet sam and maybe encourage him with my example. i have followed his case from the start and will continue to. if i can help in any way please let me know.       carey moore
