Why I Chose U2FP

As an occupational therapist and I have worked with many people with spinal cord injuries. Together we figure out a new way of everyday life with their new paralysis or condition- dressing, bathing, driving, etc. With modern day medicine the potential for nerve regeneration and healing is out there. I would love to support my patients by running 26 miles with my best friend of 26 years to support research that can make a difference in their lives.
