Athletes Who Don't Let Disability Get in the Way

Mike Sugerman and Janice Wright, two life long broadcast reporters for CBS had their lives thrown into the cement mixer after 42 years of marriage. Mike had a post surgical spinal cord stroke that left him a paraplegic, and left Janice to care for him. But Mike kept on rolling. Now they use their journalistic skills to dig deep into the world of disability, with all of it&#39;s difficulties and sometimes, it&#39;s joy and meaning. They don&#39;t shy away from laughing and sharing intimate details of their new life. And with their press passes they open doors into celebrities and regular people&#39;s lives.
