Irregardless (
) of his disability, I love someone who simply celebrates what they have won.
That's the reason I whoop and holler for friends and rellies who are participating in an event. Probably the reason Ste has paid for me to travel to support him on his 100 mile bike ride, and specifically for me to be at Box Hill, Surrey - the big climb of the day (where Cyclefrance used to live). He doesn't have to be Miguel Indurain, he's cycling a heck of a long way for charity and I'm not fussed about making a show of myself. Shoot, if I can cry in a crowded bus station just because I missed my bus , I'm beyond shame anyway.
I'm glad this showed the positive side of disability. This lad may have been made up* anyway; he's obviously an achiever. I was worried it might have been a "let the disabled kid win and we all go awwww" story. I should've known Bruce was better than that.
ETA made up meaning very happy, not made up as fictitious.
