Anthony got hurt in a motorcycle accident when he was 17 years old becoming a paraplegic. Young, afraid and angry, he was lost. But the one thing he did have was his girlfriend Katie who loved him. She didn't fall in love with him because he could walk, she loved who he was inside as a man.<\/p>\n<p>With her help and God's grace, Anthony came to terms with his injury, and dedicated himself to be the best man he could be for Katie. Today, they've been happily married for 20 years, and have a wonderful son named Noah.<\/p>\n<p>I hope their story is an encouragement to all the couples who are just dating at the time of injury. Your love can find a way too.<\/p>\n<p>Watch their love story:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-el-width-100 vc_video-align-left\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Anthony &amp; Katie Orefice - A Love Story\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_LU7ocjskbw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>Save The Date<\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9591 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wheelchair-Sports-Festival-2020-SPONSORS-NEEDED-1-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" \/>Our 9th Annual <a href=\"https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/es\/event\/wsf2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wheelchair Sports Festival<\/a> is on April 25th &amp; 26th at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring wheelchair hockey, basketball, quad rugby, scuba, handcycling, WCMX, baseball, and more adaptive activities.<\/p>\n<p>Triumph hosts this FREE event to introduce athletics to people that are newly injured, children, Veterans, and the whole community.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/9th-annual-wheelchair-sports-festival-registration-88513102071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RSVP<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>We Love you<\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Happy Valentines Day.
