ABOUT

ABOUT REBECCA

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years! On March 13, 2021, Rebecca, then 21 years old, suffered catastrophic injuries to her neck and spinal cord in a life-threatening ski accident.

Today, she remains paralyzed from the neck down. But thanks to the generosity and support of family, friends and neighbors – and the proceeds of fundraisers like this 5K – Rebecca is enjoying a new, fulfilling life.

Nonetheless, the cost of Rebecca’s medical care is staggering. She requires round-the-clock nursing care as well as regular physical, occupational, and respiratory therapies. The equipment she needs just to get through the day includes a custom wheelchair, adapted van, electronic hospital bed, and Hoyer lift, and a host of medical supplies – all of which require ongoing maintenance and replenishment. The lifelong cost of her care approaches $200-300k/year. You can find more information about Rebecca’s story and the cost of caring for a spinal cord injury here.
