WANT INSPIRATION?

Yesterdays Daily Telegraph and last nights Australian Story on the ABC had a feature on a bloke called Michael Milton.

Milton has made his name by going down a slope on a ski at 213km/h - pretty damn fast.

The difference with Milton is he has one leg.

Yep.

One Leg.

I've never skied before but I imagine skiiing on 2 legs would be bloody hard work, so this bloke is going pretty amazing.

Well he is a Paralympic Skiing champion, winning all 4 events he entered in the 2002 Winter Games.

Now he is striving for a spot in the Summer Games Paralympic Team as a cyclist - once again no mean feat considering the bloke only has 1 leg.

The difference between Michael and all of us is, he is fighting off cancer for the second time while chasing his new Olympic dream.

He is in remission for cancer of the oesophagus while he is in training for this dream.

Most people would be happy to just be alive.

This bloke is chasing his dream and not letting the knock downs keep him down.

Inspirational stuff.

I am sure he'll make it come Games starting later time this year.
