Billy, an inspiration of mine

After last weeks more heavier content, we do return more to what is more normal on this blog after Easter as I've finished off my egg now.
While I have no doubt this fine young man would be the first to say he's no hero he is someone I feel is inspiring in that as literally a boy racer who raced in Formula 3 after a childhood behind the wheel, he had a tragic accident that resulted in the amputation of both his legs.

Billy Monger may of though that was the end of his life having to work on physical therapy as I did for different reasons to be able to able to take prosthetic legs and to learn how to walk all over again after spending a period in a wheelchair.
He did all of that but it looked that his career was ended all just at the young age of 18, hardly after it had gotten started but with much support from many in motor racing he's making it back, having an adapted car so he can control it using hand controls, fought to have the rules changed to enable disabled people to compete in the sport he so loved and will be in Formula 1.
In the meantime he is commentating on it for the UK networks, manfully rebuilding his life after such a shocking experience, moving on accepting himself as he is.
If someone like him can just concentrate on dealing with life changing situations without whinging or demanding special rights perhaps those who appear to complain about the slightest thing might just quit that and take a few lessons from someone who's very much his own man and take control instead.
