Charlie Ekizian on Water Rugby

Quadriplegic Charlie Ekizian, president of Wheelchair Sports and Recreation Association, describes the physical and social benefits of this exciting and enjoyable game. Great for a summer day for mobility-impaired folks and able-bodied. It's hard to say who would have the advantage!

Charlie Ekizian has had an amazing life. In 1968 he broke his neck in a diving accident and was told he'd be in a nursing home for the rest of his life. He used athletics to regain much of his abilities. He married, finished college, had a successful career and has spent the last forty years inspiring other mobility-impaired people to reach higher goals.
