When Andrew was 9, he was diagnosed with bone cancer. After two years of treatment and the loss of a leg, feelings of depression came and went. But through it all, Andrew developed a unwavering determination to lead an active life. And he has. As a pre-teen, Andrew played Little League in a wheelchair. Later, with a prosthetic leg, he became an avid skateboarder. Today, he enjoys swimming, rock climbing, and serious cycling. As a member of Amputees Across America, Andrew has been on cycling trips form Harrisburg, Pa., to New York City, and from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Colorado Springs, Co. "Exercise fights off depression. It makes you feel chemically and mentally balanced," he said. "It boosts your overall vision of who you are. “If I could send one message to other survivors, it would be this: Set your own limits. Don’t let anyone else set them for you.” |
