Think Bold, Be Bold

BE BOLD NATION! Christopher and Allan interview and host Blake Shelley Live on location. As a person with a disability, Blake has had to overcome many obstacles and challenges over his life. At the age of 6 months, he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP), which was due to a lack of oxygen at birth. The Mayo Clinic defines Cerebral Palsy as a disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture that is caused by an insult to the immature, developing brain, most often before birth. CP has made everyday tasks (ADLs) such as, eating, walking, typing, extremely difficult. However, it has also taught him how to persevere while not letting his disability define him. It was ingrained in me through his parents and support system, to never give up on my goals. Aside from a very encouraging support system, Blake found strength through his faith from a very young age. Being raised in the church, he has always heard about how Jesus loved him and wants what's best for him. However, he did not start taking his faith seriously
