Every Step Is A Victory

Today I really need your help.  I want to do something that will be really special for two dear friends of mine. If you want to make an impact on someones day and be an inspirational persons inspiration, read on.

Yesterday I started a link up of Little Victories (go link up and share!). Today I want to talk about something a lot bigger and far more important. 

A while back I wrote this post and this post about my friends Ryan and Meagan who are engaged to be married in February.  Ryan was in a BMX accident in July.  He landed on his back and hasn't been able to feel his legs since.  Meagan, his fiance and biggest cheerleader hasn't left his side.  Together they are facing new challenges and struggles, things that would defeat most of us.  Their love for each other, their unfaltering courage and faith and their unwillingness to give up inspire me so much.  I think it is selfish of me not to share their story. 

The two are leaving this weekend for California to work with Project Walk, in an effort to get Ryan standing on their wedding day.   Last night, a local news show did a live story from his send off party.  I don't think any words I could type could do their story justice. 

Please take a few minutes and watch.  You won't regret it.  (I cried, but you all know I'm a cryer)




Now, if you're inspired by Ryan and Meagan, please leave a comment below.  Please include where you are from.  My plan is to get all the comments printed and added to a map (hopefully a world map) to add to Ryan's inspiration boards.

It's an incredible feeling to know that you have people rooting for you from all across the country and even the world.  Thank you for taking the time to read today's post.  Thank you for caring about my amazing friends.  Thank you for helping to keep them inspired. 

Remember, every step is a victory!
