From having a life of adventure to turning his life into a unique experience; this is Kirk Williams's story. After suffering an accident that left him quadriplegic, Kirk figured out ways to travel the world helping others in the same situation. A trip through South America made him see the reality in underdeveloped countries, where people in wheelchairs often face difficulties in their transportation or do not have the necessary medical care. In this episode, we will hear the story of Kirk, an inspiring story, that beyond touching your heart, Kirk hopes will be an inspiration for your life. ABOUT KIRK WILLIAMS Kirk Williams is an adventure photographer, adaptive sports guru, world traveler, and C6/7 quadriplegic.
