Football Spinal Cord Injury
It wasn’t supposed to happen. A freak accident during a college football game leaves a player paralyzed. Doctors gave him a 3-percent chance of regaining any movement in his arms or legs. But Chris Norton didn’t let that stop him. With incredible perseverance, a positive attitude and the refusal to give up, Chris has made amazing progress. And he’s still part of the football team, inspiring his teammate to be their best. [TRT 3:37]
