Harsh Thakkar, a Spinal Cord Injury peer mentor with MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital, is among the para-athletes profiled in this report by WUSA9 in Washington, D.C., who have overcome the odds through significant injuries and found camaraderie playing wheelchair basketball. The players on the MedStar NRH Punishers often have very difficult stories to share, but their common link is the bond of playing on the team and competing with one another.
