let's face it such industry giants as us budget at the end of winter and the light shelled us on a colorado filled there was also a nod to the to mulch as well to french politics with an appearance by president amend moma crunk and 1st lady regimes. this is day doubly news up next ports lifea on day w. don't forget to get all the news around the clock on our website at d.f.w. dot com so now imagine how it thinks what. about if you see when i arrived here i slept with 6 people in a room. it was hard i was fit. i even got white hair. language. this gives me a little punch maybe to intrust words and say you want to know their story.

their fighting and reliable information for margaret's. take football personally. with a little wonderful people in stories that make the game so special. for all true fans. because more than football online. looks like.

this is johnny. he was told he would never be able to walk. since birth he suffered from extreme muscle spasms despite all the odds he wants to be accepted as an athlete and a sports. we call back. he relies on a handful of carers 16 hours a day. johnny is in a constant fight against bureaucratic hurdles and exclusion small boats is his way out. when it comes to mind body and my disability sports is my elixir of life without it i wouldn't be able to lead an independent life because i wouldn't be able to move properly and that's why sports is my medicine my only form of medicine and i wanted to stay that way so i was also.

fortunate how i came to study sports is actually a funny story i wanted to study medicine to go into my own field of treatment but couldn't do that because of the practical year and then my former physiotherapist said to me why don't you study something where you can implement your training sports my 1st reaction was he's off his rocker so i asked are you going to run the 3000 meters for me in the aptitude test or what if i said. i have the severest form of this disability with a strong focus on my legs because of this i normally shouldn't be able to sit or even walk or eat by myself. today johnny's usual swimming pool is occupied. that's why he's had

to settle for the cold base if. the cold water can be problematic and makes his muscles cramp even more. to keep warm he has to power through from the start. he can only rely on his arms while swimming because his legs are partially paralyzed. johnny has a rigorous training regime on average he spends 4 hours per day working out. johnny doesn't just swim he's a bit of

a daredevil and does tons of crazy stuff. until i actually got the idea of jumping off the 7 and a half me to tell by chance. so i was angry that people don't treat me like a normal person even people that have known me for a long time. of course some things make me nervous but am i really scared something could happen but i could also just fall over on the street and hit my head.

if i think about my fears no i'm not scared i just try things out and see whether they work out or not. after swimming johnny has a quick chat with one of his favorite professors to discuss his studies and future of letting go. and i got the rights of. these evil. events kind of a. moment when he would only have been. the . one says he doesn't mean.

joining is not that optimistic about the situation disabled people face jeremy universities. sometimes i get the feeling that for sports universities the most important thing is the performance of the athletes and the way you are perceived there relates to the amount of medals you win and that's why i have the feeling a wheelchair doesn't fit into the image of a sports university. when confronted with johnny's views the head of the university's disability office has a different opinion. but i want to say you know i deeply regret and strongly disagree with this statement. from my perspective it was never important if someone brings back a medal or not. if we take a look at the 20 to 30 students at our university with challenging disabilities i don't think any of them will say i'm only welcome here because i might win a medal someday. and i think they'll say we're allowed to study here. like everyone

else and we're judged by the same criteria we are being treated equally. we have to get behind. one of the most challenging exercises for johnny is walking. a few times a week he trains for one hour without crutches to counter the imbalances in his body has developed his own methods. this would it statistically it's ok and if it gets tightened bit by bit and hold my back straight so i can walk upright on the treadmill to open up until. johnny doesn't see himself as a regular part of the student body. he

believes that sometimes the other students have problems treating him like a normal person he feels left out. and they go ahead and probably think about. it coming up to me now anything unless i'm quite independent yet still i am often left behind along with all the training i need to do it's a key reason that makes me really sad and it's mentally quite tough to process with a 700 feet especially if it's just you and your care is for so many years. my advantage is that i have my sport and that is my outlet for my frustration my maintaining until 3. johnny also struggles with everyday situations even in germany being in a wheelchair means encountering many obstacles. so.

i'm only in those men who had one of those later on done for going on to another one and. what may seem like a minor inconvenience can amount to a detour of several stops and a huge waste of time. to . turn the ability to have. to live a more or less independent life journey requires physical assistance but around the clock care is expensive. normally the states or thirty's pay for the last 5 months

johnny hasn't received any money and had to finance everything out of his own pocket almost $40000.00 euros. for. this of the. 3 different states authorities are fighting over who is financially responsible for johnny they. fight to live a self-determined life yet in the end i am the one suffering along with my care as i have to pay in advance and no one cares how i do it. when asked to comment on the delay the council now responsible for johnny cited procedural errors in question his monthly budget. despite all the odds johnny continues to fight against his own body and all the obstacles in his way. to counter the inward rotation of his left knee jonny need someone to help and coordinate his movements. his partially paralyzed legs need

weights to feel the impact of his feet on the treadmill. because of the muscle tension in his body everything he does burns at least twice as many calories as a person with out his disability. journey is an exception most people with his condition could even dream of doing the things he does without his training he would not be able to walk swim or do any other things so sports remains his only therapy. either i don't train at all and my physique deteriorates to such an extent that i drop into the category i'm supposed to belong in meaning everything will be paid for even the 20 meter cab ride to university or i do everything in my power to improve my physique and in theory save the government some money instead they

reduce my installments even though i only want to live a self-determined life. if johnny loses his fitness he loses his freedom. he has more plans and goals he wants to fulfill he wants to start his own business designing sportswear and become a motivational coach. he wants to climb sugarloaf mountain in brazil and if surfing ever becomes a paralympic sport he'll do anything to take part. so there is no impulse. if it doesn't work i need to find a why was it takes a long time before i accept something doesn't work for you.
