"When you completely accept this moment, when you no longer argue with what is, the compulsion to think lessens and is replaced by an alert stillness.

"My brother was told that he wouldn't walk, that he wouldn't be able to play drums, that he wouldn't be able to race a car - and he's done all those things. He's defied the odds, defied disability.
