Meet Shad Isaac, a 19 year old living with Spina Bifida. I say living because as you will see in these photos, he does not let his disability slow him down. In fact he is more active than anyone else I know.
Shad plays wheelchair basketball, track and does archery when he can. He is also incredibly talented at putting things back together, in fact I can remember two times while I was with him that he was fixing something. Shad is a Senior at Putnam City West in Oklahoma City, OKLA. and attends Francis Tuttle in the mornings.
Probably the most interesting thing about Shad is his amazing family. Shad was adopted by Linda and Dell Isaac. The Isaac's have fostered more than 60 children and both are in their 70's. Shad and his sister Patty are the only two children that still live with Linda and Dell. Linda is a breast cancer surviver and after meeting her I can tell you I'm not surprised one bit that she beat the cancer.
Shad has won many trophies and medals and is always the ladies man wherever he goes. After meeting him I was immediately inspired by his character and the fact that he doesn't let anything (especially his disease) stop him.

Several outstanding photos. Really great work, Holly!
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed. This is a really well-done piece, Holly. You can tell Shad and his family let you in, and that's awesome.
ReplyDeletethank you both very much. This was one of the best experiences of my college career :)
