Amazing People

Greetings,

I had the television on for background noise and something, or I should say some one caught my attention. Kevin Michael Connolly, that is an amazing man. Kevin was born without legs, and he sure does not let that stop him. Student, athlete, world traveler...nothing holds this man back. Oh yeah, he won a silver medal at the X-games too.

His preferred mode of transportation is a skateboard. He can get around quickest with the skateboard. He had prosthetic legs but compared them to walking around on stilts all the time, which yeah that would suck. I can see that. He does have a wheel chair he will use occasionally for cooking and a few other activities, but he prefers his skateboard.

As we are all aware most people lack a filter or common sense, so naturally he gets a lot of questions and a lot of strange looks.  therollingexhibition.com Kevin has put together a pictorial I guess you would say, yeah he takes pictures of the way people respond to him. Culturally people respond differently. Some people try and hand him money and some people think he is a Holy man. I am pretty sure he just thinks of himself as Kevin, but what an amazing man. From New Zealand to Romania this man gets around (I am proud when I make it to Wal-Mart).

Kevin has a reality show coming to the Travel Channel called Armed & Ready. He has also penned a book called Double Take, which I plan on adding to my reading list (it might take me awhile to get to it, my new class load is killing me).

I would say courage, I am pretty sure for him it is just a way of life. Again I have to say this man is simply amazing!

Shout out to Kevin-You Are The Man!

Love and Light!
