From SCNOW.com November 8, 2011 Eric Westover grew up in Minnesota, and said he used to play soccer to help train for hockey. He played goalie in both sports, and that didn't end when his right forearm was amputated several years ago. But he hasn't lost his ability--or the opportunity--to play soccer. "I can do what I did (before the amputation)," said Westover, who now lives in Carolina Forest. "I'm doing it a little differently, but I can still do it," he said.

Go Eric!

From the DailyMail online. iRobot becomes a reality as man gets smartphone built into his artificial arm
By Emma Reynolds
"iRobot has become a reality after a British man became the world's first person to have a smartphone dock built into his prosthetic arm. Trevor Prideaux, who was born without a left arm, can now call and text with ease using the Nokia C7 stuck in his fibreglass and laminate forearm...."

Education and Awareness Programs
Diabetes 101 Curriculum
The SC DPCP developed diabetes prevention and awareness curriculum entitled "Diabetes 101" to build capacity in the communities across the state. This program focuses on the risk factors for diabetes, promotion of awareness of the signs and symptoms of diabetes, prevention and management of the disease; as well as physical activity, healthy eating, and addresses knowing your "ABCs"- A1c, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
There is also a train-the-trainer section of the curriculum that enables lay health educators that have attended the presentation portion of the curriculum to become presenters within their own communities.

Jim and Lynn Clark: Love That Triumphs
|  Story by Christine Koppel of CKPhotography
Have you ever come across people that make
you stop and reevaluate parts of yourself? People who cause you to want to be stronger, complain less and find the rainbow hiding behind the clouds. I met them today, Lynn and Jim Clark.
As I pulled into the driveway at the Clarks home I paused for a moment with a sense of anticipation. It is difficult to know how to respond when I am getting ready to meet someone who faces daily difficulties that I can't begin to fathom. Mr. Clark suffered a very serious stroke 5 years ago and is paralyzed on his left side, his wife Lynn is his full time care taker.
