## Caption

In June 2024, Henry was riding his bike downhill with a friend when he lost control and struck a tree. The crash resulted in a spinal cord injury that led to him becoming quadriplegic. 

While staying as an inpatient at Holland Bloorview, Henry quickly became known not just for his medical journey, but for the determination that defined him. During his stay, nurses walked with him outside, swapped jokes, and made his care feel personal. He participated in on-site cooking classes (making smash burgers was his favourite), and pet therapy. 

Henry hopes to help grow awareness of spinal cord injuries by sharing his story this #SCIAwarenessMonth. Read Henry’s story at the link in our bio.
