The reason for this fundraiser is primarily to pay for rehab and  medical expenses that insurance does not cover. To give you an idea about the cost; according to The University of Alabama National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the costs for my level of injury  can be considerable, with the first year costing $739,874 and each subsequent year costing $109,077.
See http://www.christopherreeve.com for more information.
I currently supplement my occupational and physical therapy by working out at a gym called Race to Walk. Race to Walk Race is devoted to providing a comprehensive, post-acute program for individuals suffering from spinal cord injuries and other related neurological disorders, specializing in exercise-based training (http://www.racetowalk.org).  The results that I’ve seen thus far have been great, but with the medical expenses I can not continue to go without outside support.  My goal is to get strong enough so that I can independently care for myself and my boys so that we can stop using nursing care and ultimately reduce the load/stress on my wife.
As always I’d like to thank everyone for your love and support.
