Patrick Ivison

Twenty nine year old Patrick Ivison was hit by a car as a small child when a distracted driver backed up suddenly and ran him over. He suffered a C4-C5 incomplete spinal cord injury.

Patrick has been an advocate for the laws requiring back up cameras in all cars and testified in Washington DC . Patrick recently graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Patrick received a lifechanging scholarship from Swim With Mike to attend his dream school. Since graduation Patrick has been living in Los Angeles,CA and working on numerous film projects, doing sound design, and is currently working in post production. In his free time Patrick surfs using an adaptive surfboard and plays wheelchair rugby.

Below find the video that Patrick submitted for his USC School of Cinematic arts application.
Patrick and his family are raising money to cover the cost of a wheelchair, not fully covered by insurance, and for the cost of a caregiver so that he can live independently while working in Los Angeles.
