An inspirational and sometimes heartbreaking story, License to Die: The Pat Rowe Story, explores disability issues through the life of Pat Rowe, a man with cerebral palsy. Orphaned early, he overcame a life of singular struggles to become a role model to many in the Buffalo area as the founder of Silver Wheels, a wheelchair football team. Countless disabled youth and their families saw him as a mentor and leader. Ironically, his leadership role made him the target of a violent, near deadly, assault that at once shocked the community and renewed Pat's purpose for living. His stubborn perseverance drove him to become a lifelong advocate for the disabled in the Buffalo area.
