    Did you know that September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness (SCI) Month?

    September 4, 2012 /

    A few months ago I had the pleasure of recording a podcast with Reveca Torres (listen here). Reveca is a C5 quadriplegic who was injured in a car accident while on vacation at the age of 13.

He’s a born and bred Cali boy who came out of the womb with a surfboard attached to the hip. Jesse, at 17, was living the semi-charmed life of a California teenager – young, athletic, gorgeous (still is) and staged to be one of the next big surfers; it was an idyllic life. But his world turned upside down in 1996 when the crest of a wave threw him off his surfboard. Jesse hit his head on a sandbar and became a C5-6 quadriplegic…
