Meet Lakan. His life changed dramatically on July 2, 2022 after a bodyboarding accident resulted in a severe spinal cord injury. Rescued by fellow surfers and aided by lifeguards, he underwent recovery at Sharp Memorial Hospital's ICU and rehabilitation unit. Lakan faced many challenges, including necessary equipment not being covered by insurance. Triumph Foundation assisted by providing a Shower Buddy new tilt commode & shower chair.
