Anybody’s Life Can Change in a Split Second

After diving off a boat, Mark Raymond Jr. struck his head on the bottom of the lake. He couldn’t move and woke up two and a half weeks later at the hospital partially paralyzed, a life-changing experience that gave him a second chance. Mark, the CEO and Founder of Split Second Foundation, joins Attorney Daryl A. Gray on this week’s Down By Law. The Split Second Foundation is committed to breaking physical, societal and research barriers for people with disabilities. The program helps patients transition from inpatient rehabilitation back into society, and includes a mental health component, case management and other services for those living with paralysis or amputation in Louisiana.
