Back On His Feet Despite All The Odds
In 2003 Guy Harris was involved in a road traffic accident where he suffered an L1 complete spinal cord injury, leaving him paralysed from the waist down. Doctors told him categorically that he would “never walk again.”
Within 5 months Guy was feeling sensations and kicking his legs. Within 10 months he was training to stand. Within 1 year he was learning to take steps on a frame. And today he is training to walk on crutches. All achieved naturally by utilising the power of his mind….

hey stranger... it was good to see you the other night on the boat. Sucks that it was under those circumstances, but, I'll take what I can get. We should go out and get a drink sometime soon... you and your man too! Let me know...
Thanks so much, for the message, I'm glad you enjoyed the show, and btw sorry it took me a little bit to respond it's been super busy for me the last couple of weeks. Take care and feel free to hit me up anytime :-)
204 is a sweet deal. I can definitely get you a ride from Boston. Depends on who it is on what day you're coming in. But I can promise it will be someone cool. It's not that far so don't sweat it. Just tell me what day it is and what day you're leaving.
Love you. Jeremy really loved your present. He just said, as I was typing, you have really cool friends...I don't! Funny. Sad. True.
