Chip I appreciate you for sharing this!
Where do we start with re-defining disabled?
All of them are challenges!

Subject: The Opportunity of Adversity
This is the story of Aimee Mullins, the record-setting athlete, actress and
model. Aimee, who is missing both legs from the shin down, set world records
in several track events at the Paralympics in 1996.
In this powerful and poignant 22 minute video, Aimee speaks from her heart
about society's use of the term "disabled" and the power of labels. Aimee says
"It's society that disables an individual by not investing in enough
creativity to allow for someone to show us the quality that makes them rare and
valuable and capable."
Aimee talks about the opportunity of adversity.
