- (1888PressRelease) February 09, 2012 - The article shares the story of two relationships that bloomed into successful marriages as a means of inspiration and hope for readers who also use wheelchairs.
Burns started UroMed for more than 15 years ago to help serve people with needs similar to his own with disposable catheters, urological and continence care medical supplies. He met his wife, Joy, in 1995. "Having Joy and our twins, William and Emma, makes me the luckiest guy in the world," Burns says. "I truly have an amazing life."

About PN Magazine
From a six-page newsletter in 1945 to a monthly publication that spans the globe, PN continues to be an invaluable resource for people with spinal-cord injuries, family members, and caregivers alike. Originally, PN was known as Paraplegia News, and during an era where spinal-cord injuries were considered a life-altering tragedy, our mission was clear. Since that time we have seen great strides in technology, public awareness, and the general perceptions concerning people with disabilities. PN embodies the "power" of the spirit, the "professional" contributions to society, the "personal" story within each person, the "practical" resolve to carry on, and even the "playful" nature of the soul. In short - we are PN, and we welcome you to better wheelchair living. http://pvamag.com/pn/
