20/20 has been overwhelmed by the amazing feedback on Nick Chisholm's story.

Nick is trapped inside a body that struggles to work - he can't walk and can't talk, but there is nothing wrong with his brain. His story has  inspired many people to write in to us. We will pass the feedback on to Nick so if you have something you would like to contribute do so via our message board or email us at
20-20@tvnz.co.nz

Here's a taste of what we have received...

Oh Nick. Your story was so amazing. I cried and laughed at the same time even. Best wishes Kelly x

Thankyou for Nick's story - what a beautiful man... Nick, nobody could miss the incredible spirit that dances in those big green eyes - Julsie

I have never laughed or cried so much in such a small space of time as I did watching your story. For nine months now i've been on the brink of suicide (a few attempts along the way) hating my life and wanting to end it. Nothing has helped me snap out of this funk, not family, not friends, not substances. But after watching Nick's gusto for life, his quick wit, and seeing him laugh at himself and hardcase friends, I realised that life is what you make of it. Without even knowing me, Nick has given me a new lease on life and I finally feel like all my impossibilities are possible.  - Sally
