He would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n<p>But Randy never used that as an excuse. Instead, he turned it into a strength. In the process he became the most successful wheelchair athlete in history and the first person ever inducted into the Olympic Hall of Fame in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n<p>Randy electrified our audience in Dallas as he did audiences all around the world. I was very sad when I learned he had passed away suddenly in November 2009. But, as was typical of Randy, he was doing something he loved &#8212; \u00a0volunteering at a wheelchair tennis camp in El Salvador.<\/p>\n<p>I am so grateful that he left us with his incredible message that regardless of what happens to us, there are NO EXCUSES! And that&#8217;s certainly one of the Best of the First 10 Years of AsAManThinketh.net .<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #cc0000;\">Here&#8217;s Your Day Two Gift&#8230;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Listen here on your computer or\u00a0<strong>right-click<\/strong> on the Download link<\/p>\n<p><strong>[display_podcast]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Please leave your comments below and don&#8217;t forget to share with your FB, Twitter and other friends&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Randy Snow never used his life in a wheelchair as an excuse.
