Alex Zanardi Society and Differently abled
After several years competing in F1, Alex
Zanardi suffered an accident in 2001 in
which both legs were amputated. Three
years later he was on the track again
driving a BMW for which he himself had
adapted some prostheses. I am not saying society discriminates with
specially abled people all the time. But actually
we all in the society needs to understand the
ways in which we can empower specially abled
people. If we can achieve that with the rightful
awareness then we can built a better place to live
in.
He won four World Touring Car
Championship (WTCC) victories. however,
in 2007 he decided to focus his sporting
efforts on adapted cycling.
The tricycle he rides has also been
designed by himself and, to date, he has
won three Paralympic golds.
Aaron Fotheringham
In addition to being one of the most
inspirational disabled celebrities, Aaron
Fotheringham is also one of the most
famous skaters in the world. His speciality
? Wheelchair skating.
During his childhood, Aaron underwent
several failed hip operations that forced
him to use a wheelchair permanently. Even
so, he continued to practice a sport which
he was passionate about adapting to his
disability.
In 2005, Aaron Fotheringham landed a
great jump with a 180° turn, and in 2006
made the first somersault in wheelchair
history. Since then, his achievements and
challenges are an example for thousands
of people.
These are some of the best known
personalities at the international level and
with the most famous histories of
improvement, but every day, there are
many similar stories surrounding us that
we do not know about.
I agree there are so many NGOs and some
religious groups who are helping these people to
empower them, they educate them, give them
jobs, give them the opportunity to explore
themselves.
The world in which we live in is more mature and
educated except for some part but most of it
people nowadays are more concerned and helpful
to these people and which is good in long run.
Disability is not remained a hurdle anymore,
those who are mentally disabled, for them there
are many NGOs working and treating them with
the best resources they can, and for physically
disabled people, not only NGOs but I can mention
many companies who hire them in a good posts.
The government is also pro active for them.
There are so many charity events happens
across the world for disabled people, in fact there
are para olympics happens for them, so what you
are physically disabled, but if you have talent in
you then there are so many platforms available
which can be useful and helpful to empower
yourself.
And because of social network nowadays,
information travels with the one click, you get to
know about world in your phone and which is very
easily accessible.
I know it easy to say and write about it but those
who actually suffer from it, they only know the
pain and agony.
But we from BIKERS CLUB is and will always
support them to empower them and we are
committed for it.
