I read this article earlier today and thought it would be good to share with you guys, its a real good read.

Hampson: 'It took me getting paralysed from the neck down before I started to use my brain'

When Matt Hampson sleeps, he dreams he can still walk. In his dreams, he is he no longer Matt Hampson the quadriplegic former rugby player who almost died when his neck bore the full weight of a collapsed scrum which severed his spinal cord.

I haven't played yet. Not sure they have anything like that here. I seem to have my hands full right now with the house and my daughter.
When and if things slow down I would like to explore more of whats out there for sure.

kilg0retr0ut, rugby is a real tough sport and I loved playing it before my accident. There is still quad rugby and I think I'll give it a try in the future. I've sat in one of those rugby/sport chairs before and those things are cool, I'd love to have one!
