Kimberly talks with Paul Erway about overcoming not one but two major accidents, competing in wheelchair marathons in all 50 states, adaptive sports, and his work helping people regain their ability to drive with Superior Van & Mobility. Plus, Kimberly and Sam talk about all things Thanksgiving, especially the food. Spoiler alert, candied yams are gross.
