Andy Pumphrey is a young man from Oakland, CA, now age 23, I’d like to know. He is a friend’s goddaughter’s brother.
He broke his back in a 36 foot fall saving his niece and was paralyzed for a period of time. He has made a remarkable, even some say miraculous, recovery that he and others attribute to the power of prayer. He worked hard for this recovery, and there were others who helped him along the way.
You can see a short video update about him here.
It’s an inspiration to me. I was touched by the love expressed by him and to him.
Something to link with this is BORP Bay Area Outreach and Recreational Program, with a cycling fundraiser benefiting athletes with disabilities.
