Rob Heitz grew up swimming until one day he mistakenly dove into shallow water and was paralyzed from the chest down. Slowly, he recovered and was able to move again. Inspired by his strength, Heitz’s friends came up with an idea for him – to swim from Alcatraz. NBC News’ Jacob Ward shares his story.

Way to go Rob. You rock!
"There's no inspiration like having been paralyzed"
I have a message to the people of the USA. Now watch these people on this podcast, watch their acting skills. They know very well, that Google alone has posted anything between 12/19 undetected bogus ballots. In Britain we were a homogenous nation in 1948. Today we have our people in government, replacing us on radio, Television, the NHS, Sport, and in all class rooms and lecture halls. All our history programmes have black actors playing our Kings and Queens. We now being taught that Julius Caesar, and Jesus Christ were black. I need all races in the US to think about this. Imagine if Muslims and Jews were told this about their history. We know very well why the Trump house was raided, to plant documents is something that is not allowed to be said. Now having said this all, we have a sitting President of the United States, actually saying that race replacement is a good thing. You need to watch ALL American media, and just watch how trained they are in their acting skills. Am I dreaming ? Will we be able to bring in Scandal Pichai for questioning ? How can we, when they have infiltrated every institution of the US and Britain !!
not even afraid of sharks

You can find his picture in the dictionary under "DETERMINATION"!
More importantly people think men can have babies 🤣
Imagine if he had been bitten in half by a shark?? what a dipstick, there are much safer waters to be inspirational in.
Don't swim after you eat.
