If any sport can accommodate disability, it is definitely wrestling.  In our family, we have coached 2 kids with cerebral palsy (one had a winning record) and other successful wrestlers afflicted by blindness, missing legs, missing arms, missing hands, mental disabilities, and deafness.  Let's get behind this young man's cause!

No doubt.  Kyle Maynard, too.
