COBRA The life story of Tiago "Cobra" Amorim
Tiago's story is one of happiness, adventure and great triumph. Despite the adversity he faced, and the tragic accidents that would leave him physically impaired for most of his life, Tiago carried with him an unstoppable energy that would see him through life's challenges. In overcoming the many obstacles that were thrown at him, Tiago learned from a very young age the importance of humility. His curiosity to understand the great mystery of our existence - beyond the physical - led him down roads that he would pave himself. This life story inspires and reminds us that a full life is rarely measured just in the accumulation of years, but in the enthusiastic reaching for what most of us believe to be unattainable.
