LEXINGTON, SC
Lexington man Mike Cox was born with intellectual and physical disabilities, but those close to him say you would never know it.
“He
has overcome so much,” Kelly Cox, Mike’s mom, said. “At the time he was
born, his prognosis was that he would be blind, severely intellectually
disabled, and never be able to walk, and that's not Mike.”
The
now 36 year-old not only works full-time, but gives of his spare time
every chance he gets, especially when it comes to volunteering for the
Arc of the Midlands.
The Arc advocates for people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. Mike serves on the board of
directors, as a self-advocate and as a volunteer for several of the
Arc’s programs.
