A Mean High Kick

Wesley Brooks has cerebral palsy, and a mean high kick. For the last two and a half years he has grown fond of karate.

Wesley was born three months premature on the way to the hospital. Weighing in at less than a pound, doctors gave Wesley a 75 percent chance of survival.

"He's overcome a great deal of odds," his mother said.

When his younger brother began to take karate lessons in the summer of 2004, Wesley thought it an opportunity to conquer yet another adversity.
