2. Disability
Jim Hukill, Executive Director Lift Disability Network
Jim Hukill believes that “physical limitations” do not necessarily mean “life limitations”.
Before the age of two, Jim was diagnosed with a neuro-muscular disease, a form of
Muscular Dystrophy, a disease that has steadily weakened the muscles of his body
and has left him dependent on the use of a wheelchair. However, the limitation of
Jim’s physical body has not dictated the limits of his life. Jim says, “If you dream big
dreams, you will live bigger realities”. With a life expectancy of less than ten years and
a diagnosis of life-long respiratory problems, Jim has experienced living well beyond
this early prognosis. Today he celebrates more than five decades of “life-miracles”
and bigger realities. To hear him sing and communicate his life-experience, you
quickly become aware of the vitality that resonates from every breath as you will see
…God’s strength...being made perfect…in weakness.

7. Disability
 While serving people with disabilities the past 10 years, we
have discovered elements that complete the cycle of one’s
wholeness.
 It has been our observation that the closer individuals get
to better health; the desire to contribute, serve and/or give
emerges.
 People who face disability issues are often transformed
when given an opportunity to invest In others.
 With this discovery restoring a sense of service has
become one of our organization’s principal objectives.
