It began on the advice of his doctor. Toby McGilvary, age 4, was born with Cerebral Palsy. The debilitating disease made most normal physical activity almost impossible. His legs were crippled, his speech slurred and his balance and coordination precarious at best.
His doctor recommended to his mother, Connie, that he enroll in a martial arts program to help with his physical therapy.
Toby enrolled in the Yreka Martial Arts Academy and began working with an instructor. Toby found it almost impossible to stay up in class. The pain in his legs was constant, but it did not deter him from his twice-a-week classes.
Toby found something he loved.
