"Rise and Walk": The Dennis Byrd Story.

The Movie "Rise and Walk" is a dramatic look into the life of a man who loses the use of his legs. It also teaches us to never give up. After he broke his neck he vowed to walk again. He fought until that glorious day that he was once again on his feet. Dennis Byrd states, "When I play football I feel perfect". He plays the game because he loves it, not because of …

…everywhere he went. Almost a way to make those places homes away from home. It was also a source of luck for him. This reflects a great pride in him about his family and homeland. I believe this movie was a true success story. Dennis fought very hard for where he landed involving his football career. After his neck injury, he fought even harder, just to have the use of his legs returned to him.
