Adam Taliaferro
On a Saturday in September, with less then
two minutes remaining in the game against rival Ohio State, Adam
Taliaferro made a routine helmet-to-helmet tackle that would change the
course of his life. The Voorhees New Jersey native had broken his
neck--the same injury suffered by Christopher Reeves. He lay motionless
on the field. Given only a 3% chance of ever walking again, Adam had
very different ideas and today he not only walks, but he walks well. His
inspirational story and life make Adam a celebrated speaker to all who
hear his story.
