The photo  posted above was taken when I was able to run. Now I am unable to walk, unable to have a meal by myself, unable to speak well. But I am still challenging. I know that life is hard for all, for people in health as well as people having ill. Though I can't make my body move, I am happy. So, if you can walk, have a meal by yourself, or speak well, I suppose it's easier for you to be happy than for me. And I would be happy if you feel that you would like to move forward after reading "Navy blue challenger".
