My
name is Michelle Carston, and I suffered a
spinal cord injury 13.5 years after diving into a sandbar in the ocean, and
becoming a C5 quad.
You may recognize my name from a documentary on
the Discovery Health Channel called Paralyzed & Pregnant. It was
about the birth of my son, Pierce, last fall. Pierce is a happy and
healthy 10.5 month old now and is becoming more mobile each day.
I wanted to tell you about the incredible
bowling product I've been using since 2002. It is nothing like those
stationary ramps you've seen before. I've tried them, and had no control
over the ball. The bowler that I'm referring to attaches to my
wheelchair and gives me total control over the ball. I can even put a
subtle or extreme left OR right hook on the ball. Even a person with no
arm use can now bowl!
I bowl much better now than I did when
I was able-bodied and on a league. In fact, my high score is 181, which
is also the female world record. Even if you can't afford to purchase a
bowler, I will work with your local bowling center to obtain one.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me. Thanks for your time!
Kind
regards,
Michelle Carston,
