    In this episode of the Cerebral Palsy and Fitness Podcast, I interview Sam and Ryan from Extreme Motus a company that designs wheelchairs for off-road use based in Utah. Sam who has Cerebral Palsy along with his good friend Ryan have captured the hearts of thousands on tiktok through these really unique videos showcas ing Sam in a variety of unique places where he is shown off-roading in his chair, if anything can put a smile on your face it's him! Ryan explains that the goal for the chair is to create something that can be used in places where regular chairs seemingly can't go. I had so much fun laughing at Sam and Ryan's sense of humor and I hope you do too! Moral of the story is, life is too short to mope about your disability, go out there and be silly!    #extrememotus #tiktoksensation #podcasts #cerebralpalsy    Follow them here!  https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRCPdfRV/ https://youtube.com/c/ExtremeMotus

    Book synopsis: Blind since birth, a once-spirited kid with big dreams now finds herself in a locked psychiatric facility—a wounded young woman in the midst of a global pandemic.
    This memoir spans decades and continents to tell a story of the beautiful similarities that make us all human. From meeting unlikely allies in the dirty streets of some of Latin America's most impoverished neighbourhoods, to discovering difficult truths about discrimination in her home country of Canada, Heather Hutchison offers poignant insight into mental health awareness, and what it means to strive for an ordinary life when you are often treated as anything but ordinary.
    At once heartbreakingly honest and strikingly witty, Holding On by Letting Go is the unforgettable true story of one woman's journey through despair to acceptance and hope. Ultimately, it is a portrayal of the light that can be found in the darkest of times.
    You can find her here!
