8. Chris Koch – If I Can
 I was born in Lethbridge Alberta and raised in the small farming and ranching
community of Nanton, Alberta. It was clearly established early on in my life
that I would not be raised with pity or sympathy. My family could have treated
my disability like a total tragedy but instead chose to take it all in stride and
make the best of the situation. After all, I still had a good head on my
shoulders… and with that, anything is possible. I absolutely love sharing my
story and spreading my message of, “If I Can…” My life has been a fun ride with
a lot of laughs and I make sure that my presentation reflects that. I have not
let limitations or obstacles in my life stand in the way of achieving my goals 2
and dreams and I encourage others to do the same. Furthermore, I am
constantly setting new goals for myself and I think it's important for everyone
to always be challenging themselves as well. Simply put, if I can do the things I
have done so far in my life, what is stopping anyone else from doing the
same? http://www.ifican.ca
