The first half of this video was filmed by Caitlin Patricia Weiler (IG: @kitcait) and it shows how Peter gets into his van and into the drivers area. The second half of the video was filmed by Daniela Zavala
(IG: @dany_tacoplease). You can tell the difference between the two segments because Peter is wearing a cool 70s headband in the second one!
We made these videos just to show that even a high-level quadriplegic like Peter who is a C5, can still drive! And hopefully this will inspire young quadriplegics out there to let them know that anything is possible!
Peter recently got into a minor accident and this very van in this very video was totaled after 21 years of service and 170 K miles. Nobody was injured! However, Peter has lost significant independence without being able to drive around being the inspiration that he is. A group of his friends have started a GoFundMe to get Peter a new van! We hope you'll consider contributing whatever amount small or big that you can to get Peter back on the road!

**I would also just like to clarify that these videos were taken last year before COVID-19. Just in case anyone was wondering why we are not wearing masks!
