How excited were we when we heard Robert David Hall, from CSI decided to support The Peace Exchange and use our market tote/wine bag! Thanks Mr. Hall! It only makes sense that someone who has gone through their fair share of obstacles would choose to support women in Congo - individuals who have also had extreme struggles. In the late 1970's, Robert had both of his legs amputated as a result of an accident in which an 18-wheeler truck crushed his car. The accident also caused the gasoline tank of the car to explode, causing burns over 65% of his body. He now comfortably uses prostheticlimbs, allowing for personal mobility. Several of his characters, including his CSI character, have openly shared this disability. He is a prominent advocate for disabled Americans. In addition to starring on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Robert has appeared in such films as Starship Troopers and The Negotiatorand has made guest appearances in a number of TV programs including The West Wing and L.A. Law.
