Sister thanks wheelchair-bound brother for being an inspiration
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
This inspiring story is one of courage and shows a man who refuses to let his disability get in the way of living his life.
On Wednesday, I chatted about the story of a paralyzed man who pushes himself to the limit and refuses to be a victim of his disability. He is now a fitness star along with his girlfriend.

I put the question out to KZN to find stories of disabled individuals who refuse to allow their disability to get in the way of living their lives. This is when I came across this inspiring story of Clifford Keys from Port Shepstone. His sister, Tracey, contacted me during the show and shared his story - and what an inspiration he is.
Clifford was left paralyzed after an accident at the age of 15 - a thought that's hard to imagine, right? Clifford hasn't allowed being in a wheelchair to get the better of him. He has since gone on to become the national pool wheelchair champion.

I called Clifford up on air and unbeknownst to him, his sister was on the other line. She had a very special message of gratitude to share with him. It really was such a warm and endearing moment between these siblings. It felt like a real privilege listening to this love between a brother and sister.
Take a listen to the heartwarming moment which is bound to leave you a bit choked up.
Thank you, Cliff, for sharing your story with us. Love and light to you now and always. X
