🌍📚 Today, on International Day of Education, we celebrate the power of learning and the opportunity for everyone—no matter their abilities—to access education, grow, and thrive. At Conquer Paralysis Now, we believe that education is the key to empowerment.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at CPN! ✨🦃
Today, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible individuals who make our mission possible. From the generous donors and tireless volunteers to the advocates and supporters who inspire hope—we are so thankful for YOU. ❤️
At CPN, we’re here to support and uplift caregivers who play an essential role in helping loved ones regain independence. Join us as we honor the dedication of caregivers like Karli and encourage others to prioritize their own well-being.
Through her own journey, Karli has discovered self-care practices—small but powerful ways she finds joy and recharges while navigating her caregiving journey.❤️
In honor of National Family Caregivers Month, we’re collaborating with Karli Wickens. Her husband, @robertwickens, was paralyzed in a racing accident in 2018.
Together, we’re driving progress towards a cure and enhancing lives every step of the way. Help us continue making a difference—consider donating to CPN today. ❤️

At CPN, we’re dedicated to empowering those affected by paralysis and neurological conditions through cutting-edge research, innovative recovery programs, and compassionate support.
Term Tuesday: What is Paraplegia? Paraplegia refers to the loss of movement and sensation in the lower half of the body, usually resulting from a spinal cord injury.
For those injured in the line of duty, Conquer Paralysis Now and DRIVEN stand ready to support you on your journey to regain independence and strength. We are here with you and for you. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Today, we honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of our veterans. Your commitment to serving our country inspires deep gratitude and respect.

#ConquerParalysisNow #FactFriday #SpinalCordInjuryAwareness
🔍 Fact Friday! Did you know? Approximately 80% of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) are male. 💡 The incidence of TSCI in young men is a staggering 20 times higher than in young women.
The day before the event, we watched 10 of our DRIVEN LV clients take the wheel of the Arrow Electronics SAM car—some driving for the very first time, and others returning to the driver’s seat since their injuries.
