Spinal cord injuries don’t only happen in wild accidents or extreme sports. They can happen to anyone, at any age, in the most ordinary moments.
I was 18 when my accident happened in 2008. One minute I was just living life — the next, everything changed.
September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month. I’m sharing one video daily not to scare you, but to remind you: life can shift in an instant, and people like me are living proof that it doesn’t end there.
You can go on to live a full and joyful life. Yes there will be challenges, but impossible is nothing.
Awareness matters. Representation matters. And living fully, even after an injury, matters most of all. Creating a world that’s accessible for all MATTERS.
