Prestige has an honory member named Jimmy Crews. Four years ago Jimmy was in a terrible auto accident leaving him unable to talk or walk. After years
of therapy Jimmy is going to Marathons with his crank bike. In New York with Prestige sign on the back of his bike he came in second. In Miami recently he broke a record and now has been asked to go to Boston and Poland for their Marathons.
Two weeks ago Jimmy graduated from two year college studying computers. He now is talking, and walking with a walker. He still has therapy several times a week. Jimmy asked if he could play golf that he had been practicing standing and swinging at the golf range. Jimmy not only played golf but sank the putt that won his team a prize. He was elated. He did fall several times losing his balance but just got up and started over.
Several weeks ago one of our Board of Director’s sent a mother to talk to CEO Polly Wilkie The mother’s son did not want to live . The young man in
his twenties had come back from Afganistn and had a seizure causing many problems. After speaking to Polly Wilkie who told her Jimmy Crews story the
woman agreed to let Jimmy go and talk to her son. Jimmy’s dad took him to see the young man they even took him to the beach.
Jimmy now is taking him to group meeting for support, the young man wants to get a bike like Jimmy’s and go in the Marathon. Jimmy told him he would be able to do it because he has the upper body strength. Jimmy eMails him and the young man is being helped . Jimmy is an inspiration to everyone.
Prestige is honored to have him on our team. A gentleman sitting with Jimmy at the table said, “I guess I am sitting with a Star” and Jimmy turned to him and said the perfect thing, “Jimmy does what Jimmy does”.
