Jonathan Greeson

Opis

Jonathan Greeson was born in a small town in North Carolina in March of 1982. He was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy when his parents noticed he was dragging his legs when trying to crawl. They put Jonathan in a wheelchair and he hasn't stopped since With great support from his family and friends he was able to graduate from North Carolina State University's College of Management where he majored in Business Management with a Finance Concentration. While in college he was a awarded an internship with the Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL. Using the knowledge gained from his internship and business courses, Jonathan founded the North Carolina Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association (NCEWHA), so that he and other disabled athletes could participate in the wonderful sport of hockey. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this work will go to the NCEWHA. My Online Angel is about a personal relationship between Jonathan and a young woman who unfortunately is no longer with us. Dating is a subject Jonathan really doesn t often speak publicly about, but he felt as though he would be doing her an injustice to never tell their story. As he was writing it, it became an outlet that he hopes will help others when trying to date with a disability. He tries to answer all the questions that people are afraid to ask because of our politically correct society. Therefore, it is written in a very conversational tone and some of the comments may be a little PG-13, but they are necessary to really help the reader understand his thoughts and feelings. The book also became a self-help book, which he hopes we all can benefit from.
