“The graduation walk was our focus for so long,” Emily Norton, now married to Chris, said. Emily and Chris detail their lives together in their new book, “The Seven Longest Yards.” The title is a reference to the distance partially paralyzed Chris walked down the aisle on their wedding day.

Did Chris Norton walk again?

Chris Norton is continuing to inspire others. The former college football player, who was left paralyzed after a game accident and later went on to walk at his graduation and wedding, is now reliving his journey in the new film, 7 Yards.
