Truly inspiring testimony, he will help many others in life in any circumstance. Especially in this journey! God has him to fullest 😊😊

Watched him for years on The Challenge. Hated this happened to him, but the way he has handled it, and how he carries himself is so very inspiring. No doubt he wont let this stop him from living his best life. Wish him the best.
