DISABILITY
His disability affects coordination, flexibility and mobility of his legs. "I think I can handle it pretty well. They only have to help me to dress, the rest I do it by myself. I use the walker for short distances and the wheel chair for the rest, imagine crossing the street with a walker- I will start today and end Sunday afternoon." (vimeo.com, 30 Jul 2009)
