If a doctor said you’d never walk again, would you believe them?
Keith Paul Jones refused to.
A drug deal gone bad transformed Jones' life. In the blink of an eye, he went from an active husband and father, to a hospital bed. He was unable to move his legs for almost 2 years.
Jones told one of our Uncuffed producers, Anthony Ivy, the story of how his world was torn apart, and rebuilt from the rubble with the support of his wife.
"The doctor told me I had a 50-50 chance. he believed that I wouldn't be able to walk again...I knew it wasn't the truth."
