Vehicle Modification Grant Recipient

Emmett L. - Quadriplegic

Your contributions to our Back to Block swim helped Emmett receive a vehicle modification which has given him “a lot more independence because I have the ability to drive my own van rather than waiting for others.”

Durable Medical Equipment Grant Recipient

Skye K. - Paraplegic

Your contributions to our Back to Rhode Island swim helped Skye receive a shower wheelchair through our Durable Medical Equipment grants. She still uses this shower chair because “it is a safe and easy transfer”.

All of our peer mentors have had years of experience with a spinal cord injury or disorder. There is life after SCI/D. We’re here to support and empower you to reach your goals and return to doing the things you love. Because we want you to thrive in life as we have.

SCI Awareness Day At Fenway Park

On September 10, 2023 we had a wonderful SCI Awareness Day at Fenway Park! What better way to bring awareness to the community about SCI than coming together at Fenway for a Red Sox game with an on-field presentation, grouped seating, Hats Off to Heroes honoree, and a limited-edition hat give-away. Red Sox winning the game was icing on the cake!

We have finally been able to collect all the best pictures and video from the day and we want to share it with you.

Thank you to Mary Cooper for hitting the home run of ideas to have this event and also for being relentless in the pursuit of making this day as amazing as it was! Thank you to the Red Sox Group Sales for helping us navigate all of the logistics. And Thank you to Art Page of the Travis Roy Foundation for sponsoring the event!
