Listen "056: Hope After a Spinal Cord Injury With Chris Norton"
Episode Synopsis
Your life can change in an instant. Chris Norton’s changed forever in a football accident, resulting in severe spinal cord injury. Imagine being told by doctors that you would never be able to move again. Are you going to spend the rest of your life feeling sorry for yourself? Or are you going to make a stand?When they tell you that you have a 3% chance of moving anything below your neck again, forget the 97. Focus on the 3. After his injury, Chris beat the odds and began to gain movement below his neck again. But he had a lot of help – the support of his family, friends, and fiancée, his trainers, and many more special people. And recovery comes at a high cost, both in determination and in dollars. An RT300 leg and arm bike costs $34,000 and a Bioness hand stimulator costs $15,000.But no one should have to worry about money when they’re working towards a better life. That’s why every donation the Chris Norton Foundation receives goes to fund various levels of accommodations and neuromuscular deficiencies equipment, and facilitate opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise exist. Everyone deserves a fair shot at recovery.Always remember that our circumstances don’t define us – we do. With inspiring words and positive action steps for changing your attitude and reality, Chris Norton’s speech is universal. Are you ready to change your life?
