Not to knock the guy- but..... I'm tired of these types who have to do these Herculean feats. Darn... I'm more impressed when a handicapped person can simply make a good living for hisself, and if he wants to give to a charitable cause, can donate his own money. [Before people start flaming me, understand that I have a physical impairment myself. I don't feel the need to prove anything though].

I don't know, if someone can inspire and help others while at the same time doing something amazing, I think they should.

He is in fact making a good living for himself without any excuses...
Just my 2 cents.

I can't feel angry about this guy since he's raising money for a Jameson Davis. I could have lost my arm two years ago in a horrible bicycle accident. After hearing about this baby's story, I can't even compare.
