Emergency surgery and an intensive rehab program at Craig Hospital in Colorado marked the beginning of his new journey toward independence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, Max has committed himself to physical therapy and recreational activities like kayaking. With incredible determination, he\u2019s progressed from total paralysis to walking with leg braces and a walker. His weekly training sessions with his quadriplegic neighbor at his home gym are a testament to the power of peer support and perseverance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While neuropathy continues to affect his daily functioning, Max has partially returned to work as an architect. With his lease ending, he moved in with his girlfriend\u2014but their home required modifications, including a stair lift and ramp.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to Triumph Foundation supporters, <strong>Max received a grant to help make these accessibility upgrades possible<\/strong>. Because of this support, Max can continue building a life of purpose and progress\u2014both at home and in his career.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>Make more stories like this possible<\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/c\/triumph2025Gala\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-at-3.21.42\u202fPM-1024x449.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"\" title=\"Screenshot 2025-05-28 at 3.21.42\u202fPM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-at-3.21.42\u202fPM-1024x449.png 1024w, https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-at-3.21.42\u202fPM-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-at-3.21.42\u202fPM-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/triumph-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-at-3.21.42\u202fPM.png 1594w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p data-start=\"36\" data-end=\"106\"><strong data-start=\"38\" data-end=\"104\">Ticket sales have ended \u2013 but you can still make a difference!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"108\" data-end=\"282\">We invite you to join us in spirit for our <strong data-start=\"151\" data-end=\"183\">Triumph Foundation 2025 Gala.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"224\" data-end=\"618\">Even if you\u2019re not attending the Gala, you can still be part of the impact!
