#LifeIsFragile…Just Ask Amanda

A part of the Mid-Atlantic Catastrophic Injury Fund

Who I Am

A snowboarding accident in January 2018 left 22-year-old Amanda with paralysis from the belly button down.

Why I Fundraise

“I need physical therapy, home modifications, alternative therapies, [and] a modified car so I can retain some of my independence.”

How I Hope

“I’m going to snowboard again. I’m going to have a huge success story. I want to help people. It’s like God was training me for this. Anyways, it’s just a body…I’m still Amanda.”
