Gimp: The Story Behind the Star of Murderball
Patrick McCauley was born with spina bifida, a birth defect that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Despite his disability, Patrick was always an active and athletic child. He played wheelchair basketball and competed in track and field. In 2002, Patrick was involved in a car accident that left him a quadriplegic. He was told that he would never walk again and that he would be lucky to regain the use of his arms. But Patrick refused to give up. He worked hard in rehabilitation and eventually regained the use of his arms and hands.
