Hard work is paying off! Couldn’t control my hands like this six months ago. Finally able to eat lunch on my own. It’s great to know that the upper-limb stimulation trial study that my @BEL13VEJabby13 is raising money for is changing people’s lives. #Independence #QualityOfLife

What do @LCarterLong @sidewalklabs @VW @ALISTROKER @NextStepLA @AbilityLab @EmpowerSCI @andrewslorance and @IEMStrategies have in common? They're but a few of the #disability leaders that have contributed to our first-ever Big Ideas issue. newmobility.com/2019/09/big-…

At the time of his accident, Janne Kouri – a former star defensive tackle for Georgetown University's football team – was told he would never walk again. He proved them wrong and raised more than $350,000 in the process for people living with paralysis. bit.ly/2ExIy19

I had the pleasure of meeting #JanneKouri more than a decade ago & we’ve stayed in touch ever since. When he told me about his latest 3100-mile trek in a wheelchair I knew @ReeveWill would be the perfect person to join because of the special connection. Will explains next on @GMA

What a privilege to help tell the story of one hero, Janne Kouri, alongside another, @RobinRoberts, who introduced Janne to America @GMA all those years ago. This made me miss my parents, and reminded me of their presence. Thank you.
