Darryn August is a South Africa modern day hero who is learning to walk again, and has his sights set on the Paralympics.
: We'd like to think that if we witness a life-or-death situation, we would all jump to assist. The reality, of course, is that the vast majority of people stand around and stare, hoping that someone else will come along. For some the urge to help is sporadic, for others, like real-life superhero Darryn August, the drive to assist has run strongly through his veins from childhood.
Excerpt from News24.com "Left with a disability after trying to stop a train robbery, Darryn August, a man who never backs down from a challenge, now has his sights set on emerging victorious on a different platform - the Paralympic Games. Following a bleak prognosis after being hit with a crowbar, stabbed in the head and breaking his spine, the 28-year-old's determination to recover and walk again no longer seems futile as he now manages to get around on crutches for short periods...".

Love the mothman design and very excited to use these!
Love my new smartcrutches! I use them a bunch and they’ve made my day to day a lot easier.
Same.
I absolutely love this bag. It can be difficult to carry a purse when using crutches. This bag allows me to bring everything that I need with me without having to depend on others for help. It truly has made my life easier and I would recommend it to anyone.
Nicely designed and drafted. I think I will need to build up the base of the hand rest a bit with something so my thumb can reach the rest for the thumb. Nice dealing with you.
