“An injury like this doesn’t have to change what you do, only how you do it.”

Our spinal cord injury client Kirk Williams was recently featured in a stunning article and photo series for Insider. Since a 2009 bike accident, Kirk has made incredible strides in independence, including participating in international travel and renovating a van for complete accessibility and self-sufficiency.

After his eye-opening international experiences, Kirk began giving back to others living with spinal cord injuries through an initiative to raise funds for wheelchair giveaways.

“Hopefully, I can do something within my power to help bring more opportunities to others.”
