The accident has left Dave, for the time being, without the use of his legs. This accident happened in 2005, and Dave is still on the path to recovery.
Dave is raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with his spinal cord injury. He lives in Carlsbad, California while he undergoes intensive rehab at Project Walk in Carlsbad. After attending Project Walk for only 5 months, Dave is excited to report that he has taken a few unassisted steps using the ballet bar for support.
Wishing you all the best, Dave!
