This is DRIVEN: the road to recovery from paralysis

Brandi Kurka has a background in exercise science and is the Executive Director for the organization conquer paralysis now. The organization was started by racecar driver Sam Schmidt who sustained a spinal cord injury after crashing into a wall at over 200 mph in January of 2000. That same year he started Conquer Paralysis Now. 23 years later, Brandi Kurka has taken the organization to new heights including DRIVEN a program devoted to the lifestyle needs a person living with paralysis has - especially around personal goals and social networks. They've also expanded their support of paralysis from injury to include those from conditions like MS, stroke and other neurological conditions. The organization has one big dream to fill “a world where there is a cure for paralysis and people with neurological conditions can live entirely independent.”
