A local business owner took on thirty flights of stairs Saturday after being unable to stand less than four months ago.

For Mikael Anderson, the journey to the 25th floor begins one step at a time. In December, he couldn't walk at all after an ATV crash on his Houston-area ranch.Anderson woke up in pain in a hospital bed. He discovered that a spinal cord injury left him partially paralyzed. He could feel his legs but could not use them.

"He’s really never told me no. He pushes each and every day. I ask him; I put hard challenges before him," says Michelle Sauer, Anderson’s primary physical therapy doctor at TIRR/ Memorial Hermann. "The day after his accident, the first thing Mikael said that was reported to me [was] ‘whatever you do, be sure and get that Esperson transaction done," says business partener and co-owner Dougal Cameron of Cameron Management.Before the ink dried on the co-ownership deal, Anderson had thought up a new challenge: climb the building's 30 flights of stairs to mark his speedy recovery.

"This is what this building is about, really unusual entrepreneurial, hard-working of things, persevering kind of things," adds Cameron. "There’s a lot of Viking in this guy; he may be all Viking!"
