I am c6-c7 complete spinal cord patient..i have been fighting for 2 yrs now..still no movement,no sensation,no feeling.But i have a hope that someday I will be able to walk again...To those people out there who are fighting like me,keep fighting believe in yourself one day we will see the light ❤️. .. ..

Asa A T2 parapalegic June 2021. Been a long journey full of ups and downs. Spent a year in a wheelchair but happy to say I just ditched my cane and walking on my own again. No where near fully recovered yet, I still struggle daily, but you just always have to look back at how far you’ve come. The skies the limit

I am 43 years old and was born with cerebral palsy. I never knew until watching this that spinal cord injuries cause spasticity, clonus and kicking out, just like CP. Thanks for sharing. I've really enjoyed the tips and positivity you share on this channel!

Hi Mason..Im on a similar journey but for congential scoliosis...older lady but have done balet and yoga all my life..no way Im NOT going back to it. Youre my guru for this kind of determination. I know you will get there...Big hugs and keep us all going.

Oh wow, I’m a T6 paraplegic from spinal cancer in 2012 and I didn’t even know all of this was available. Thanks for sharing your journey and I’m definitely going to do everything I can to get myself walking again. ❤

Mason - love the optimism and never give up spirit. I am 54 and joined the SCI world two years ago. I’m C5-6 incomplete and my journey mirrored yours in so many ways. My first six months were brutal on the recovery front with minimal progress but months 6-9 were a new awakening for me. 24 months in, focusing on daily progression, I can manage short distances with AFOs on both legs and the use of forearm crutches. However, my chair is my difference maker. It affords so much independence without fear of falling or tiring out before I arrive. Please know that you sharing your story has only added to my determination to embrace life and live it fully. I have no doubt you will continue to do the same. Thank you for setting the bar.

Wow your progress is truly heartwarming to see. And you’re getting JACKED! I’m truly inspired. I’m not paralysed but I have a mystery illness that often renders me bed bound. I’m not comparing disabilities, but I just wanna say - nobody truly understands what it’s like to have your life snatched away from you overnight. Seeing all your peers continue to play sports, go to the gym and just generally living life - while you’re stuck inside, in what should be your physical prime. The last couple years (had it for 4+ years now) I’d completely given up. Any progress I made, I abandoned. I was self medicating, and just genuinely felt helpless - depression really kicking me when I’m down too. Recently I decided I won’t be defeated. If not for myself, then for my family and my dog. I’ve been trying to make a little progress now each day (sometimes I have to rest a day or 2 in between) and I THINK it’s working. I just wanna say it’s videos and stories like yours which are playing a big part in keeping me motivated to NOT GIVE UP. Sorry for the long rant. I just wanna say thank you and I sincerely wish you the best on your amazing journey.

Amazing & inspiring 🙏🏼 14 months ago I had a paragliding accident that cause me broken back (2 lumbar) I was Paralysed from the waist down, but now Im walking again with a very hard work, determination & positive mindset, for whoever out there that had spinal cord injury, never give up my friend 💪🏻

Hey man it's great to see your channel! I've got spastic cerebral palsy on my right side. I've had 5 open back surgeries to stabilize and open up the canal all occurring at L5. I got a few years of walking then wheelchair bound. I currently am in a nursing facility because I need so much help. I have a chair I got off Ebay because my insurance wouldn't cover anything that I could be independent in. I can't really use my right hand or leg so I use everything else. Seeing your journey fills me with inspiration and hope. I've got some unreal pain 24/7 and the nerve pain is just the cherry on top! When I use a walker my right leg bounces. I've taken about 60 steps. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey! Drew

You go, Mason. I have been there and I am now fully recovered and mobile as well. Keep up the great work and you will get there as well 👍. You will be in my prayers 🙏 ❤

Much respect to physical therapy workers. The time and dedication they put into helping their patients is incredible and admirable!! It can't be an easy job!!

Hell of a story bro. We’re all proud of how far you’ve come and excited to see the future❤️❤️

I knew you weren't going to let this wrinkle get in your way. You're way too determined. Who knew going thru what you experienced would harden your resilience? You're amazing ❤

You blow me away man, you are GREAT!

I am a friend of your Moms from CMBM and just catching up on your Caring Bridge site. Thank goodness I haven't missed the auction. Your website is great, this video so inspiring, and your strength and perseverance simply amazing! Keep that positive energy flowing!

I stumbled upon your channel randomly after watching a short you posted, and I have to say, I admire your perseverance and dedication so much. While it’s not comparable to a spinal injury, I’ve needed multiple operations have had several injuries to my dominant shoulder. Usually this put my entire arm out if commission. It destroyed me physically and mentally. You’ve handled a worse injury so well. I hope that one day I can be as mentally strong as you seem to be.

Slow and steady, is an understatement. Hats off to you. My brother was at Craig Hospital, you are so fortunate to have youth, friends/family on your side. You are definitely motivated, attitude goes a long way, keep smiling.

You’re an inspiration to so many people. Keep sharing your story. Thank you.

You are an amazing individual and the future looks bright. Your tenacity in getting better should be admired by everybody. Much love ❤

Mason you have an amazing attitude! The dedication you have to being the best you can be, and also the appreciation you have for that wonderfully supportive community around you. With this combo I look forward to seeing your full recovery🏅

Dude your killing it! Keep it up every day holds more potential than we know. I got hurt in a car accident that scrambled my nervous system 3.5 years ago. Starting in 2022 I began to struggle to do real basic things… like breathe. In response, doctors said I would have to hurt. I suffered a horrid neurological event in the spring. After I woke up after 2 days Sometging was very different. Neck was finally so twisted and compressed that I lost motor function in much of my body. Doctors told me not to use my prescribed marijuana anymore and offered antidepressants for the condition. No help. Every day for 6 months I worked to stimulate the nerves all day long, and finally yesterday something shifted and my nervous system came back online. Your journey is very inspiring, thanks for sharing its really helpful to see others that have gone through hell and made it back

Mason you are one strong young man. God Bless. You got this!

Hey dude I pray for your full recovery, never give up brother

A blessing that you have the medical insurance, and the funds and friends, to help in your recovery. Best wishes for more recovery to show us in the future.

Incredible work dude. You’ve come so far and are an inspiration to so many. You’re a fantastic human!

What an inspiration. "No" isn't in your vocabulary and your attitude is infectious ❤️❤️❤️

You are an inspiration to anyone who takes the time to watch your amazing journey and road to recovery. Your determination is inspiring!! I don't have an injury and I am inspired to be a better, the best Me I can be by watching you!! I will be 62 this year, see, you're never to old to learn. Best of luck on your continued journey Mason, I know you've got this......Colleen Rachel

I am very impressed with you Mason. You are quite determined and that will get you far! Congratulations!

Mason, I've been following your Mom's posts since the accident. Truly you are a hero, inspiring so many others by your intense workouts, your amazing positive attitude and never giving up! Watching this video made me think, everyone watching would give you a standing ovation! The love of your family, friends and health care team are really something too! God Bless you and your family Mason!

Keep going i’m sure you’re going to walk again; I’m 2 years and a half in from my spinal cord injury, progress is slow but it definitely comes.

Yoo bro you’re amazing !!!! Really glad you’re still alive, may Jesus continue to bless your new path to recovery, but I wanted to say you’re really a big motivation for so many people!! Like bro so many people just give up but nahh you are the difference maker and I happy to continue to see you conquer this recovery and new life. God bless bro!!

Mason your an amazing inspiration with a beautiful spirit and such dedication for getting stronger and not giving up. You inspire this soon to be 65 year old.

God bless and best to you in your journey. With your positive outlook and fierce determination I have no doubt that you will not only walk again but will actually be able to jog. Mason, you are an inspiration and we look forward too seeing your progress and accomplishments!!!

So. Much. Hard. Work. And. Determination. Oh my goodness. It is stunning how much you and everyone like you faces every single day! Much respect in the human you are. I'm also in awe of how many therapy aids you have. The years of effort all those inventors gave to give others recovery options. What a huge world you live in. Not just your family and community, but the whole paraplegic world as a whole. I worked for a company that supported kids with prosthetic legs/feet to run with athletes. And that world was big. But yours is even bigger. I know that every one of those tools you have was made by a person who said this is needed to be made, and they did it. So many inventors who cared and passed that caring on. How cool. And just look at how much help your own attitude, your family and friends, your community, your medical and therapy helpers, and all these therapy aids have done for you. It's like seeing you lifting yourself up at the top of a mountain of support! I am so deeply moved by your story. And of course ugg that one of changing moment in a split second. I'm sorry that ever even happened to you. But that is in the past, no sense dwelling on it or you get stuck there. You have to process it, grieve it, and then finally take a deep breath and say "now what do I want to make of this hand I've been dealt in life?" And clearly you had that moment. I hope others get even a portion of all the support you have. I know most don't, and can't, get that much help, and that saddens me. I wonder how we can reach more people who need help. I will show your videos to my middle schooler. His future lies in technology, ai, robotics, creativity (he's going to love your art video!!), and the sciences. I can see an intersection of his skills and interests, and neurology and rebuilding those connections in the body. I recall how much Christopher Reeves believed this could & would be done one day. We are getting there, but yet so much more work to be done on figuring out how to make those electrical signals (nerves) speak again - on their own or with technological aids to connect, read, process and act upon those signals between the brain and body action. One day we will have such a thing available for everyone. I look forward to that day! Please know that your actions & videos spread ripples far and wide. Maybe you'll inspire a kid who grows up to move this field forward. And who knows how many people struggling with a similar situation as yours are finding inspiration from you! So many beautiful ripples. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤

I admire you for your bravery and consistency. May God bless you! You are an inspiration!

Great effort there buddy, you're a real inspiration to all of us who have suffered a life changing spinal injury. I'm 58 and 6 months post injury and watching your video is definitely todays gold nugget!

Merry Christmas Mason!! All the blessings and strength for 2024!

❤❤❤ you will achieve your dreams Mason , you will

Thank you thank you thank you. I’m currently in a wheelchair. Due to multiple surgeries and autoimmune disease I have had to learn how to walk again two years in a row. Getting back muscles is very hard. Depending on a wheelchair is very difficult. I’m told it will take 3 days for every day spent bedridden to recover. That equals out to about 3 1/2 years for me. I’m getting stronger every day, hurts like hell but point is don’t give up. Thank you for your post.

I had four rods from my cervical spine down to lumbar.... I am still working my way back gradually.... Recently I can move my legs after 1yr 2months of my surgery.... I am working with limited tools just back slap and the rest I improvise. Really happy to see this online it gives me hope

Dude your amazing ...love from Australia have a great Christmas

Omg....your recovery is more than i could ever do.

You are waking up your nerves and that muscle memory is kicking in!

Mon père s'est fait amputer il y a quelques semaines, j'ai envie de lui montrer cette vidéo pour le motiver Bravo à toi pour toutes ces belles victoires ! 😍

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It will help others with their struggles. Hoping for your continued improvement & health. 👊🖖

This is an incredible story. Wow! Have you ever heard of Bruce Lee having broke his back? They told him he would never walk again, he worked hard and he would always say "walk on." Appreciate you sharing this. Wishing you all the very best.

In March of 23 my 18yo daughter went skiing in Breck...the group went down the wrong slope. She flew off the slope and into trees...bursting her dura around her spine, her T10,11 &12...8 ribs, punctured lung, broken left femur, dislocated right hip, fractured pelvis. She is ALIVE. We were in ICU 2 months CRAIG for 4 months. We are learning to navigate this new life. Thanks for your video! Good Luck to you! We are starting this journey and you have encouraged us!

Thank you for your wisdom so young but so wise already .

God bless you! You are strong you can do it!💓

You are an amazing young man. No limits honey!!
