Maj. Phil Packer of the British Royal Military Police, paralyzed from the waist down in 2008 during his tour in Basra Iraq, was told he would never walk again. He refused to accept that.
Last week, he climbed the face of El Capitan in Yosemite in support for Help for Heroes, a charity for disabled veterans. He also walked all 26.2 miles of the London Marathon... on crutches. It took him two weeks. [Merced Sun-Star]
