Hi there!
i'm a 21-yr-old with cp. i'm a very active person who's goal is to become a par-olympic figure skater. i've only started recently (maybe about a season or so) and am starting to get somewhat discouraged. I want this more than i've wanted anything in my life but sometimes the shear difficulty of it overwhelms me. I work out often and study martial arts as a way to improve my balance but progress is slow. I guess i'm afraid it can never happen. That i'm to old and too disabled. Although i should tell you my case is an extremely mild one. I have a slight limp which is more pronounced on my right side. I'd like to know if anyone with my condition has ever done anything like this before? Any information would be helpful at this point. It cant be impossible....
