I choose to fight


There is a local fairly unknown beach about a minutes drive from my house. I'm actually surprised more people don't hang out there. It is probably the nicest beach in Oshawa. It just so happens that I grew up a half a kilometre away from there. Anyhow, it was just what I needed to clear some of the cobwebs out of my brain. I thought for fun I'd post my video that I made about 6 months ago regarding MS, Karate and myself. I titled it, I choose to fight. Every day I fight to get up to make my body move the way I want it and although it is a constant battle I want to people to know that there is hope. Before I started martial arts I was on some pretty heavy duty drugs to help cope with the disease. I now take very little. There is hope. Before I started to train I had no balance and couldn't support my wieght on my left leg, nor jump. I know it seems like a small thing, but if you consider all the tiny muscles and major muscles it takes to jump straight up in the air it's kinda of amazing. I can actually hop on my left foot now, something I never dreamed possible. Anyhow, take a look at the video. Keep fighting friends!
