Amberley Snyder - More Than a Netflix Star
In June, while browsing movies on Netflix, my wife and I came across "Walk. Ride. Rodeo."

Seeing Is Believing
Adaptive people are incredible. Adaptive athletes are incredible. Watching David Brown is even more incredible. I had the privilege of watching him run, and I mean fast, alongside his guide, Jerome Avery.
He has been considered the fastest runner on the planet, with countless victories, Olympic gold medals and world records obtained, and has made a name for himself in the T-11 (Visually Impaired) Paralympic world.
I met and spoke with him briefly last year, and he was cal
