A wonderful,true and courageous story of this member of the singing group, "The Irish Tenors". Born with severe deformities of his feet and legs, doctors felt he would never walk. He did learn to walk with heavy braces on both legs and became a champion equestrian as well. He graduated from Trinity College in Dublin with a medical degree. Following a motorcycle accident both legs were amputated below the knees. He went on to win a talent contest, study opera in England and Germany and landed a recording contract.
It is an amazing tale of dtermination and courage!
