Woke up this morning with pain and tightness up and down my right leg. Shouldn't be able to feel. Progress...? Pain is good. #bel13ve

Jablonski, affectionately known to many as "Jabs," suffered a spinal cord injury after being checked from behind during a hockey game in 2011. Since then he's been through rehab and hopes to prove doctors wrong and walk again.
He's made several strides since the injury, including participating in a treadmill walk-a-thon, walking with assistance in a spinal cord injury fundraiser and making his foot move.
It's not known if he'll ever walk again or half full control of his body, but Jablonski has vowed to do whatever he can to beat the injury.
