Original Toronto Star caption: Muscle-building exercises are a nightly routine for Edgar Reiprich, 18, of Scarborough, who was told after an accident four years ago he wouldn't walk again. But an operation in Russia last year gave him hope, and now, with great effort and cumbersome leg braces, he can take a few steps.
