Teddy Atlas to take flight on Saturday
Joe Cali is 22 years old and has been paralyzed from the chest down since a car accident in 2007. But there is no quit in this kid. He made a promise to both himself and Teddy Atlas during a testimonial at last year's Dr. Theodore Atlas Foundation Dinner.
After receiving assistance from the Atlas Foundation and inspiration from the world class fight trainer and ESPN Friday Night Fights commentator, the young man said: “Teddy, next year if you’re up for it, we’ll sky dive, so if you are game, come with me.”
I hope Teddy's not afraid of heights. Tomorrow, at 11:00 AM sharp, the kid and the trainer will sky dive at Sky Dive Sussex at Sussex Airport 55, in New Jersey.
“Just talking to Teddy after the accident changed my outlook on my situation,” says Cali, “Teddy told me that anytime you are faced with an obstacle, just push through it, and things will work out for the best. I was able to handle myself better than I thought. Coming out of the hospital, I thought I was done.”
Atlas, who was a regular visitor of Cali's during his hospital stay, said: “I always tell kids that we are trying help that if they reach for the sky that anything is possible I never dreamed Joe Cali would take me literally.”
This year’s 12th annual Dr. Theodore Atlas Foundation Dinner is set for Thursday night, November 20, at the Hilton Garden Inn on Staten Island, featuring Giants Super Bowl heroes Brandon Jacobs and Justin Tuck, and Jets coach Eric Mangini. For tickets and Information Call (888) 505-7070.
