At a glance, David Rose is, specifically,
a profoundly deaf quadriplegic due to athetoid/spastic cerebral palsy.
But Dave is so much more than his conditions. He's also articulate,
hilarious, philosophical, and grateful for every second he has. No
matter what life throws at Dave (which is quite a lot these days) he
greets it with steadfast humor.
A couple months ago, Erin Willett and Sarah Hill started following Dave's Twitter Machine, DaveonWheels. They've since become close friends. Both Chivettes contacted me and encouraged me to follow Dave,

But you'll be amazed what Dave does with those 4 words...
UPDATE: Dave is out of surgery and Tweeting! Dave's Twitter has exploded from 800 followers to 5,400 in just a few short hours. More updates to follow.
