Help Jessica raise money

For participating in 2019 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5k

My Story…

15 years ago, my life and the life of my family was changed in an instant. I was injured in an accident while forest fire fighting in the Northwest Territories. In an instant, I became a T9 paraplegic, fully paralyzed from the waist down. What followed over the next decade and a half has been a crazy, hilarious, painful, exciting, exhausting beautiful journey of what is possible when you dig deep, think outside the box, ask for help, and help others out. Spinal Cord Injury BC has been there every step of the way. From initial meetings in hospital, to supporting me with scholarships to get back to school, to connecting me with other women who became mothers after injury. Today I'm a lot of things that didn't seem possible 15 years ago: a lawyer, a Paralympic athlete, a mom of two adorable and insane little children, and most importantly, someone who can say that they are honestly and truly 'living the dream'. Please help me help other spinal cord injuries "live the dream"!
