The League of Afghanistan
|
| Jess Markt was going into his second year of college and was a high jumper on the University of Oregon track team when a spinal chord injury left him a paraplegic. He understood that he could dive deep into despair over his new future or he could simply embrace the challenge. He chose the latter. As it happened, Jess decided to take-on not simply his own disability, but also the traumatic disabilities of a very special group of people: Afghans crippled in the violence of the U.S. war against the Taliban. Watch as Jess helps to build confidence and purpose in a group of men who, quite literally, have had the ground taken from beneath their feet. |
