Over the past few weeks, the catch phrase WINNING (coined by the one-and-only Charlie Sheen) has been all the buzz on social media outlets. However, when you really sit and think about it, there are only a few people that come to mind that are truly WINNING. The two people that immediately come to my mind are my niece and an old friend from high school.
My niece, Christina, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor 5 years ago now. She had to overcome so much after her surgery however, never once did it stop her from living life. Christina is now attending dental school while raising thousands of dollars to help families that have children with brian tumors through a foundation she formed after her own ordeal. She is truly WINNING!!
Darrell Gwynn, an old friend from high school, was a young "Superstar" in the sport of Drag Racing. A horrific accident on the race track early in his career left Darrell paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. However, that didn't stop him from helping others. Darrell also founded a foundation that helps young children with paralysis. This past weekend Darrell made it back on the race track to raise money for his foundation by driving a modified electric dragster and racing against a drag racing legend -- Don Garlits. There no better way to say what he has accomplished, then to just say WINNING!!
