Keith Miner:

BIO
Keith Miner was born in Munster, Indiana, right outside of Chicago to Roger and Denise Miner on Jan. 11, 1981. He moved around a lot as a child before ending up in Brookville, Pennsylvania, where he would graduate at Brookville Area High School. Keith Miner was a part of the PA Army National Guard before being medically discharged in 2000. On May 8th, 2000, Keith's life was turned upside down when he was involved in a tragic work accident that would leave him permanently injured and change his life forever.
While working that day a co-worker made a critical error in judgement that caused Keith to be pulled into a Industrial wood chipper. He sustained injuries to his neck and back, and lost his right hand, wrist, and part of forearm. Two surgeries and four days later Keith walked out of the hospital confused and not knowing what direction to go.
In 2002, Keith met his best friend and now wife Marisol. They accepted Christ together in 2003, and were married in 2004, paving a path for Keith's life to change once again forever. With Christ and his wife by his side, Keith began to pick up sports again, and soon found out that he was still playing at high level with just his left hand. In 2008, he picked Brazilian Jujitsu and Mixed Martial Arts under coach Kirk Gibson of Texas Elite in Denton, TX. With great coaches and teammates Keith would go on to finish 3rd at his first NAGA. Months later he would take 1st in the next NAGA tournament.
On October 4th, 2008 Keith became the first amputee to fight professionally in MMA. He fought Clayton "Sunshine" Robinson in Freestyle Cage Fighting in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Keith went on to lose the fight in the 2nd round to a tough opponent, but walked away knowing that he had just competed at a professional level with just one-hand.
Keith plans to fight again and will continue to train, but his true passion is showing others that have went through traumatic events or have a disability that there is still life out there! Keith hopes to encourage and help show individuals out there that no matter what has happened to them, you cannot let life pass you by! You must "Press On"!

Testimony
Hello my name is Randy and I suffer from chronic pain 24 hours a day every day. I had a back injury and needed to have surgery. I am sure my doctor done his best, and I did have improvement, I was able to get up and walk, I was very happy for that. But I didn't get a whole lot better other than that, and I truly believe that I could have gotten better, but it was a work comp injury, and they stepped in and stopped my therapy and would only allow me to have pain medication. These work comp people are really a work of art, well I better stop there I could write forever on that issue and I am sure some of you can also. It is the worst system for a injured worker I have ever seen!!
Those are things you can learn how to deal with by coming to a support group.
There were so many things I had to work through and adjust in my life to be able to have quality of life that I have now, I never thought it was possible to get rid of the depression, anxiety and ease the pain. Everything seemed so dark. But I had a doctor that told me I could work through these things in his support group and I trusted him and sure enough learned how to deal with things so much better. And there was one thing he told me and that was only fight the battles you know you can win. I have lived by that for about ten years now. I am so thankful for my doctor and that is what he believes in is quality of life. Not just laying down thinking that the right pill or another doctor can fix everything.
You have to get passed that and work through the issues like anger, blame, why me, denial, and so on, until you get to the point of acceptance, and its not easy and there is going to be peaks and valleys but you can start setting some small goals and start living a better life.
People that suffer from chronic pain really needs to step up and teach other people what chronic pain really is all about. I will do everything in my power to do just that and try to help as many people as I can.
