This wheelchair-bound student walking to collect his Masters degrees is the most inspiring thing you'll see all day
Sam Bridgman was picking up not one, but two Masters degrees.
“Inspirational” is a word that is used altogether too often, but it couldn’t be more perfect when used to describe student Sam Bridgman.
25-year-old Sam was diagnosed with Friedreich’s ataxia when he was 15, a rare neuromuscular disease that has left him wheelchair-bound since the age of 18.
Nor is Sam letting his condition get in the way of his love of sports. He worked as a resident for ice hockey team the Tampa Bay Lightening while studying for his MBA and master’s degree in sport and entertainment management.
Oh, and all the while he’s also been raising funds for Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance. Yep, inspirational sounds just about right.
