We met Franklin when he was 12 years old, shortly after he lost all four limbs to a bacterial infection. The skin on his limbs was extremely fragile, due to grafting and scarring. From the beginning, Franklin was hopeful and optimistic, and he had a smile for everyone he met. His recovery was slow and sometimes painful, but through it all he displayed the spirit of a warrior. Four years later, there is nothing that Franklin, now almost 17, can't do. He attends high school (with no special accommodations), plays sports - including soccer, basketball and pingpong, paddle boards, rides a bike, plays video games, and everything else kids his age do. His most recent accomplishment: 1st place in a pingpong tournament! "I don't get mad or sad about what happened to me. I think, what would that help? I am so happy to be alive and want to give hope to other people ." #NoBoundaries
