For me, having a Spinal Cord Injury IS
Sexy. Commanding. & Imperfect. Today is #SCIDay2023! Let’s Celebrate! Life is short! Rock ON! Can’t wait to present @ISCoSmeetings in Scotland next month to talk about SCI issues & meet SCI researchers! #wheelchairbarbie #paralyzedmermiad

Yo @MartinHeinrich @SenatorLujan I heard there is a final FAA Reauthorization bill! I urge you to support & strengthen disability provisions in this year’s final bill. This critical legislation will make a difference in air travel for the lives of people living with a disability!

After she was diagnosed with #TransverseMyelitis, Cody Unser founded @codysfirststep to raise awareness, advocate for research, and help people with disabilities through activities like #ScubaDiving: https://t.co/z3yaYxZV69

Today is World Ocean’s Day! When I became paralyzed at 12 years old due to #transversemyelitis, the ocean saved my life from all the fear, doubt & uncertainty! Please join me & my fellow #PadiAmbassaDivers @PADI & take the #SaveTheOcean Pledge!

After #TransverseMyelitis left this woman paralyzed, she started a foundation that sponsors #ScubaDiving trips for people with disabilities, including veterans with #PTSD: https://t.co/z3yaYxZV69
