"This means a lot to me because I used to absolutely hate having a disability. I've been in a wheelchair my whole life and I hated it.

"one of the reasons I did hate it is because when I turned on the TV, I never saw anybody like me. If I did see someone like me, it was a road safety ad, where someone drink drives, has a car accident, and the next scene is someone like me whose life is over."
