Listen in to my conversation with Andrew Bernstein who was hit by a car while biking home from training. As he explains in the podcast, the spinal cord injury was the least of his concerns as he fought for life in the first couple of months. A year and a half later, Andrew shares how he is walking further, biking again, and attacking his rehab like he attacked his training before he got hurt. In this episode, we also touch on what it means to “recover,” and how it is often more than just physical recoveries, and Andrew offers some wonderful recommendations to patients who have recently been injured.

In other news, the four year anniversary of my injury is tomorrow and I will be setting out to set the world record for the 100,000-meter row. I am doing this to raise money for the High Fives Foundation, which is an amazing organization that is helping spinal cord injury athletes achieve their dreams! We have raised an amazing $11,000 so far. Thank you to everyone who has donated! I think we can hit $15,000 with your help! All donations are doubled so go to this link and donate as much or as little as you can!
