The Goosebumps of Life: Grant Korgan at TEDxYouth@SanDiego 2012
Grant Korgan shows how living life with a glass-half-full mentality, positive spirit and "mad luv" breaks down barriers and inspires the goosebumps of life. After a paralyzing back injury in a 2010 accident bringing the news that he would never walk again, Grant pushed those notions out of his life and ultimately pushed himself to the South Pole (the first adaptive athlete to accomplish this incredible feat). Grant reminds us that regardless of ability or perceived disability, we are all truly UNLIMITED!
A nanoscientist and professional athlete, Grant Korgan is the author of Two Feet Back, an autobiography chronicling his injury and road to recovery. His South Pole expedition is also featured in the documentary, The Push: A South Pole Adventure. Grant and his amazing wife Shawna exude the power of positivity!
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

The Women's Conference 2006: Minerva Awards - Marilyn Hamilton
Marilyn Hamilton shares the story of her injury and how she turned a tragic situation into a remarkable one. Her life was transformed following a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down as the result of a hang gliding accident. Her bulky wheelchair was not conducive to the active life she led before the accident and this frustration led to her creation of the Quickie wheelchair. Hamiltons reinvention of the wheelchair has touched and changed the lives of the people who use them.

Increase a level of awareness, support, and enable access to a range of specialized therapies focused on improving overall quality of life for those living with this paralysis.
The Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation was established in 2006 so others with spinal cord injuries can access the best possible care for their disability. Michael-Ryan serves as President of the Foundation. The Foundation has organized several fundraising events including auctions and golf tournaments organized with the help of his family and caring friends including the Seattle Seahawks. In the last year, Foundation funds have been used to purchase specialized equipment as well as fund specialized exercise therapy here in the Seattle area for others in need.
The Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation
The Foundation was organized to establish a world renowned, state-of-the-art, specialized restorative therapy center in the Seattle area where those with spinal cord injuries have access to the best therapies -- specialized equipment, exercise techniques and palliative treatment -- designed and administered by leading spinal cord injury specialists and physicians. As well as:
Inspiring hope & providing opportunities for those living with paralysis to achieve a better quality of life. Raise awareness of the therapeutic needs of individuals with spinal cord injuries.

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.
