Mario Bonfante, Jr. was an up and coming motorcycle racer, when a BMX accident rendered him a paraplegic. Through sheer will and determination, Mario was able to regain partial functionality of his arms. He then designed a system to be able to fully operate a race car without the use of his legs.
Mario is currently racing a 2002 BMW M3, and still is reaching for the stars. His goal is to win a racing championship, to show people what is possible if they put their passion into something. If you want to read more about Mario Bonfante, Jr., you can read this interview he did with Complex.com, or check out his blog.
