from Live to Walk Again · host survivingparalysis

This week on the Live to Walk Again Podcast we had the opportunity to visit with Sam Schmidt who is a Former IndyCar Driver, Spinal Cord Injury Warrior, Founder of Driven Neuro Rehabilitation, and the author of the brand-new book "No Finish Line". We spoke to Sam about the practice run crash that left him paralyzed from the neck down, turning tragedy to triumph by not only founding Driven Neuro Rehabilitation but also becoming one of the most successful IndyCar team owners in recent history, and collaborating with Arrow Electronics on a new way to get behind the wheel. We also talked about his new book that was just released in May, using an exoskeleton to dance with his daughter at her wedding, and having his Son Spencer narrate the audiobook.
