I recently read this book with my facilitator Erin. It is about a typical, goofy 21 year-old boy who has a zest for all of life’s up’s and down’s. Shane was born with a disease called spinal muscular atrophy or SMA. For Shane this means his muscles are wasting away more and more each day. Shane has been in a wheelchair his entire life, but does not let that stop him from fulfilling his dreams. Shane offers his own hilarious and original perspective on life with a smile always on his face.

This book has helped me look at my own disability and realize that on my worst days it is not that bad and there is always a reason to be happy.

My opinion is that everyone should read this book no matter if they have a disability or not . It made me laugh, it made me cry and it gave me a whole new outlook on life. Shane is now doing a tour across the U.S to promote his book and documenting the whole thing. If you want to tremendously improve your day go check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwZZZkrJycQ

His passion for life is infectious.
