Description: Quadriplegic Charlie Ekizian, president of Wheelchair Sports and Recreation Association, comments on the history and importance of quad rugby for quadriplegics. Charlie Ekizian has had an amazing life. In 1968 he broke his neck in a diving accident and was told he'd be in a nursing home for the rest of his life. He used athletics to regain much of his abilities. He married, finished college, had a successful career and has spent the last forty years inspiring other mobility-impaired people to reach higher goals.

SPINALpedia is a social mentoring network and video archive that allows the spinal cord injury community to motivate each other with the knowledge and triumphs gained from our individual experiences.
We envision a society where people with paralysis are no longer isolated and can return to being active members of the community. In order to realize that goal, we need to unite our community and find strength in the power of our experiences.
