Rob's story of spinal cord injury and recovery

Rob: Rob knows a lot about hope and courage. A car accident in January 2003 left this former triathlete and extreme sport fanatic a quadriplegic. He was near death many times in the weeks following his accident. When he transferred to a rehabilitation center six weeks later, he was told he'd never be able to move.

'I now can walk about 300 ­ 400 feet with a walker and a brace on my leg,' says Rob. 'I think that's due largely to our refusal to let anyone or anything take away our hope.'
