David Jeffers

David Jeffers was injured on August 1, 2011.

While on vacation with his family at the beach he was struck by a wave, with such force, that he broke two vertebrae (C5 and C6) as well as fractured C4. Because of these injuries, his spinal cord was bruised. He realized immediately that something serious had happened but was unable to move and could not get himself out of the ocean. Fortunately his wife and nephew noticed he wasn’t moving and pulled him to safety. He was operated on in Wilmington and then transferred to CMC in Charlotte. He and his family later decided to transfer him to Shepherd Center in Atlanta, where he completed 4 months of rehabilitation.

Its been about 5 years since his accident David and his family are doing well. His eldest son is now 7 and his youngest is 4. David continues a progressive therapy schedule. That consists of therapy at CMC as well as excercised based therapy at Race to Walk. Unfortunely insurance will not cover his therapy at Race to Walk. They also do not cover his nursing care or ALL of his medical expenses. It is because of this, we are asking for assistance. Please consider helping in any way you can.
