In San Diego we met Ehrren who suffered a C3-5 spinal cord injury working security at a night club. There was rowdy patron becoming a danger to the public that needed to be forcefully removed. In trying to subdue him, they both fell to the ground causing a traumatic injury to Ehrren's spinal cord.<\/p>\n

He is receiving great care at Sharp Rehabilitation<\/a> where he is speaking, breathing on his own, and moving all of his extremities. He is on his way to making an amazing recovery. We gave him a Care Backpack and shared with him some resources he will be eligible for as a military veteran.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We met Eron at California Rehabilitation Institute<\/a> in Los Angeles. Last year at a music festival, he was climbing and fell 40 feet straight back. He sustained numerous injuries, including a T12 spinal cord injury. He was there for 10 hours before getting airlifted to a hospital, waking up the next day he knew his life would never be the same again.<\/p>\n

Once Eron was ready to start driving, our Keep Moving Forward Grant helped him get hand controls installed in his vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
