Charlie Wilks
You have to watch this video. This kid truly is amazing. Charlie Wilks is a football player, who happens to also be blind. Charlie is truly wise beyond his years, and watching this video will definitely make you appreciate his great attitude.
I think it's great the way his teammates have adapted the way they play to assist him, and make it possible for him to be competitive. Football is a team sport, and without such great teammates and coaches it would really be impossible for him to be able to do what he does.
Escalator Fail #2
People in wheelchairs aren't the only ones that have trouble with escalators.
Glee: Wheels
In the latest episode of Glee, the Glee Club members put on a bake sale to raise money to pay for an accessible bus for Artie, the Glee club member that's in a wheelchair. In addition, the Glee club members must spend 3 hours a day using a wheelchair, to prepare for their new dance number - which will be done from a wheelchair. The club puts together a pretty impressive dance number and gets a small taste of what it's like to use a wheelchair on a daily basis. Missed the episode? Don't worry, you can watch the entire episode after the jump!

Wheelchair Backflip
I'm sure that most people who are reading this site have seen this video before, but on the off-chance you haven't - this is worth posting. This video was originally posted about three years ago, but is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen someone in a wheelchair do. Aaron Fotheringham landed his first backflip in July 2006 at age 14. Check out the video.
