Wheelchairs on the Go: Accessible Fun in Florida - Travel
Description
In 1965, on a high school football field in Richmond, Indiana, Randy Stigleman missed a tackle that altered his life forever.
Laying lifeless, with a broken neck, totally paralyzed, Randy was rushed to a hospital 90 miles away in Indianapolis where he hung between life and death for two weeks. The community rallied behind him with tremendous emotional support and fundraisers to help pay the staggering medical bills. At 17, he was told he would be a quadriplegic for the rest of his life.
Randy never lost his faith or his zest for life. He realized God had a bigger plan and purpose for his life and would give him the strength to overcome the challenges. After college, he married Michelle, his high school sweetheart. They share a passion that life should be lived to its fullest. As a family man, Randy has two wonderful children. Professionally, Randy is a partner in a successful health care company. Socially, Randy is the life of the party. And for fun, he has snow skied, ridden hot air balloons, flown in a glider, whitewater rafted and gone scuba diving. His real love, however, is fishing. In addition to saltwater fishing around his home in Florida, he has traveled out west and in Canada to fly fish many world-class rivers. Randy's strong faith, an optimistic attitude and an outgoing personality have been an inspiration to others. Randy is far from the stereotype of a 'disabled' person.
