If you were to meet someone who is missing both arms and legs for the first time I’m sure you will have doubts as to what he can and cannot do. Let me dispel that myth by sharing some of my adventures from around the globe. Throughout life we encounter challenges and obstacles and I have always met them with extreme optimism. I have always believed that I can. I have also shared that optimism with people I encounter with the firm belief that if I can do the things I do, there is nothing holding anyone else back in life. Here I am today, wanting to share with you the concept, mindset and mission of, “If I Can…” Chris was born a quadruple amputee. Although his missing limbs are visibly obvious, it has never been something he has allowed to define himself. With the support of an amazing family who encouraged him to make the most out of life. It was very clear early on in his childhood that he would not grow up accepting pity and sympathy from himself or others. A good sense of humour, accepting the, ahem, hands that have been dealt to me and really bad puns are all examples of how he's travelled through life. His grandmother’s initial reaction to hearing about his lack of limbs after his birth went along the lines of: “he never did finish anything he started” (referring to Chris's father) so obviously twisted humour and attempting to see the light side of all situations run deep within his family roots. His "If I Can"​ message has challenged Chris to do and see more. Through motivational speaking his goal is to encourage others to do the same. Next time you consider a new hobby or activity, or you have come across a challenge in life, or you just find yourself in either a physical or mental funk just think: If I Can...
