...Joey Pulford of Redondo Beach hasn't touched the ocean since the day he crushed his spinal cord in July 2000, leaving him confined to a wheelchair at 16 years old.But it hasn't stopped him from getting on with his life.
Now 22, Pulford is a senior on the dean's list at USC, where he studies public policy and planning. He drives a truck, hangs out with his friends and today will take to a swimming pool, where he will help raise money so other physically challenged kids can attend college...
...In its 26th year, the annual Swim With Mike event at USC offers tuition and financial assistance for athletes who have become handicapped.
Pulford is a recipient of the scholarship and said he wouldn't have been able to attend USC without it. So he rounded up some sponsors and plans to raise more than the $750 he did last year...
