Our guest this week has been a paraplegic since the age of 16, but hasn't allowed this to slow him down in the least!! Meet David Hartsek, a wheelchair athlete from Lexington, who this past July competed in his 41st consecutive Bluegrass 10K race. David will describe the nature of the incident which caused his paralysis, his career pursuits in the field of I.T., and his tremendous triumphs in wheelchair sports (ranging from tennis, to basketball, to road racing). It's impossible to hear David's story without being uplifted. Listen in for the proof!
