have been a quadruple amputee for 13 years. While I lay in my hospital bed, one of my high school department heads visited me and said, "Jeff, you are at a crossroads right now. You can choose to lie there and feel sorry for yourself or get up and improve people's lives." As a motivational speaker, I stole that challenge and use it whenever I speak.
Recently, the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club hosted a tournament for amputees which I participated in. How? Ten years ago, I decided that I wanted to play golf again. I called several manufacturers and asked for help. They all said, "We can't help you" except one.
When I called PING they said, "Can you be here tomorrow at noon?" Three months later I was golfing. Now I play golf five times a week and PING is one of my many heroes.
Everyone has experienced a loss. It may not be all four limbs, but maybe you have lost a loved one, had a financial crisis, or a relationship gone bad. What are you going to do? Get up and improve someone's life!

Jeff and I just returned from the Amputee Coalition Annual Conference 2018 held in Tucson this year. We had a great time with old friends and met lots of new friends. Jeff presented a session on living with "Complex Limb Loss" and I presented two caregiver sessions. We were blessed years ago to learn so much at the annual conferences, and it feels great to be able to give back.
