Mark Ormrod recounts a viral video where he fell while training on running blades, which has garnered over 7 million views.

Mark Ormrod reflects on his 12-year anniversary of living without a wheelchair, a journey that began during intensive rehabilitation in the United States. He describes the "tough love" approach of American medical teams who insisted he adapt to the world rather than expecting the world to adapt to him.
