Amanda Boxtel--If I Can Do It, You Can Too!

February 27, 1992 marked a pivotal moment - a freak somersault while downhill skiing and in a split second my life forever changed. It has taken eighteen years of paralysis to create the woman I am today. While human embryonic stem cell treatment has brought renewed muscle power and sensation into my limbs, recreating in the outdoors brings me the most joy. This is a brief video depicting my life as it was...and how it is today. When I listened to Vivaldi while skiing with headphones for the first time, I felt like I was dancing again in a three dimensional playground. I was a bird soaring with my own wings. I live every moment to the fullest. My living is determined not by what life brings to me, but by the attitude I bring to my life. If I can do it, you can too!
