## Caption

"My dream was to be a baseball player, but that dream changed in an instant when I was struck in a hit-and-run accident. In 2009, I became the first person to have an epidural stimulator implanted on my lower spinal cord. Because of this technology, I have regained the ability to stand and move my legs, along with more control over internal functions such as temperature regulation. This breakthrough offers real hope to those, like me, who were told nothing could be done for them. I will not rest until every person living with a spinal cord injury has access to epidural stimulation." - Rob Summers, Reeve Foundation ambassador #FacesOfReeve
