What many people don't realize is that a spinal cord injury doesn't end when someone leaves the hospital—it marks the beginning of a lifelong journey. While the initial recovery may fade from public view, the financial, physical, and emotional challenges remain. Ongoing medical care, wheelchair maintenance and replacement, accessible transportation, home modifications, therapy, adaptive equipment, and everyday living expenses become permanent realities that require continuous support.
Your donation helps ensure these athletes are never left to face those challenges alone. By giving today, you're providing critical resources that restore independence, improve quality of life, and offer hope long after the headlines have faded. Every gift—large or small—makes a lasting difference.
Adler continues to push forward and embrace every new challenge that comes his way. He is now back home in Oklahoma full-time, where he has been hard at work building his future both personally and professionally.
Currently, Adler is attending college at Oklahoma State University while also working at 405 Mods and growing his own business. His determination and work ethic continue to shine as he balances school, work, and entrepreneurship.
When he’s not busy with classes or work, Adler has been staying active on his handcycle and recently achieved a major milestone by competing in his very first handcycle race. It’s another exciting step forward in his journey and a testament to his commitment to staying healthy, active, and engaged in the sports community.
Adler’s positive attitude and drive continue to inspire everyone around him. We are proud of the progress he has made and look forward to seeing what accomplishments are next on his journey.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Adler and cheer him on every step of the way
