He lost full control of his legs and was basically confined to a wheel chair or crutches.  But Tokmak has a determination that is amazing, and he has used that will to become a performer for Cirque du Soleil.

Check out his inspiring dance on crutches.

The crowd at PETCO park in San Diego was treated to the opposite side of that coin Monday, when Cirque du Soleil performer Gabryel Nogueira da Silva was given the task of the ceremonially first pitch.
