When the young patients of the Children's Hospital of Orange County in Orange, California, enroll in occupational therapist Wayne Centra's karate class, something quite remarkable occurs.
Whether they're feeble from months of suffering, overweight and lethargic from chemotherapy or simply lacking the confidence to reenter life outside the ward, Wayne revives his kids' fighting spirit:
"I see these kids come into the hospital fearful of any interaction,” says Wayne, “then they take these classes, the change is amazing. They become empowered and realize they deserve to be treated like everyone else."
