Major Phil Packer – an inspiration to us all
I caught the news last night and there was a feature on Major Phil Packer who is climbing a mountain despite being paralysed from the waist down. Previously he walked the London Marathon despite being told he would never walk again.
He was injured whilst serving in Iraq and he is raising money for heroes.
Major Phil is setting himself challenges to prove what he is able to do.
It made me think – the way that people will react to situations in different ways. For some such an illness would be the excuse to sit back, to not try to do anything and slip into victim mode. For others, like Major Phil it is a challenge and can make the problems that others currently face be seen in a different perspective.
