In an instance that love was taken away from him after tragic ski accident left him paralyzed from the neck down.Miraculously he's been able to recover from his injury and enjoys a pretty normal life, dedicated to helping others. He's now a motivational speaker, runner and yes, he's even been able to hit the slopes, something he never thought would be possible. News Links:Ruth Chepngetich runs 1:04:02, breaks half-marathon world record in Istanbul - Canadian Running MagazineOur Mission - Wings for Life World RunLocations - Wings for Life World RunShow Links:About — Mike Shaw (mikeshawski.com)Book — Mike Shaw (mikeshawski.com)News:CBS Minnesota - Daunte Wright Killing: Officer Kim Potter, Police Chief Resign; Potter May Soon Face Criminal ChargesThe Intercept - NYPD “Goon Squad” Manual Teaches Officers to Violate Protesters’ RightsWashington Examiner - New Mexico ends qualified immunityThe Root - Maybe America Is RacistHow to Help:Black Lives Matter - Ways You Can HelpBlack Lives Matter CanadaMontreal-Based Racial Justice OrganizationsList of American and Canadian Bail FundsEducational Materials:Reclaim The Block - Resources and DownloadsCritical Resistance - Abolish PolicingCritical Resistance - Breaking Down the Prison Industrial Complex video seriesSecond Thought - America's Police Problem Hosted on Acast.
