It's been two years since I broke my neck. Two years since I went through the fears of possibly never being able to walk again. Thankfully, for me, I am able to say that it has been two years since the miricale moment.

Unfortunately, not everybody gets to share the same happy ending that I do, and that's a serious problem.

There are things that I experienced throughout my entire recovery process that cannot be summed up with the appropriate words. The pain I saw the first time I went to therapy and I was the one with the worst break, but the best outcome... My heart tugged at those who struggled with a transition that they should never have to get used to.

For that reason, I am fundraising to donate money to the Christopher & Dana Reeves Foundation.

This is a foundation that "is dedicated to finding the cure to spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy." Something that has found its way to be near and dear to my heart.

I'm not entirely sure what my expectation is, but I am making a goal this year for 2500$ to be raised at the event.

Because when we are blessed with something as miraculous yet simple as being able to walk, or move our arms, or wiggle our toes... the only thing that makes sense is to Pay it Forward.
