When he was in high school, Ray Heisler asked a fellow student for help; his electric wheelchair was broken and Ray needed a push out to the bus.

Rocketing toward a row of lockers, Ray tried to use his foot as a brake, but the momentum just lurched his body forward. With friends like these, it's no wonder hope looked elusive.
