You are an inspiration for so many. Your story really touched my heart. Merry Christmas, Damone! May the small contribution multiply 100x over and over for your recovery and to offset the treatment costs.

Damon
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. My 19 year old niece broke her neck at C6 this summer while swimming in the ocean, and I know it takes a lot of work to make progress and that every little victory is hard won. Wishing you much strength and courage as you continue to work and make progress.

Dear Damon, I know there are bad days but pull on that competitive spirit. I hope your good days out weight your bad days. There are people who don't know you but have watched you play that are praying for you and your friends and family. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
