I wanted to share a bit of my story and experience becoming paralyzed 11 years ago in hopes to build understanding amongst those who have not lived through a similar experience and support for those who have. I hope that you can get something out of me sharing my story however small. We all live through challenges in our lives and it's what we do with them that makes us who we are. But I think by sharing those challenges and experiences with others we can all remember that we are human and can support each other.
