S2 E5 Going The Extra Mile With Kelly Lamb

Kelly Lamb and Jon David met one day before classes started their freshman year at the University of Arkansas in 2009. They ran in the same crowd and even dated some of each other’s friends, before realizing after too long that they saw a future together. Following graduation, Kelly moved to New York City and so a long distance relationship began. Unfortunately, on July 6, 2013, Jon David sustained a spinal cord injury from diving into a shallow river leaving him a C4 quadriplegic. "I struggled to cope with his injury and the reality of our new future from nearly 1,000 miles away. I was looking for any way I could tangibly contribute to his recovery", Lamb said. Enter Team Reeve. Six marathons and over $100,000 raised later, Kelly had found her way. On today's episode of The QuadCast, Kelly joins me to discuss her continued commitment to helping fund a cure for spinal cord injury, and to highlight the 2nd Annual Reeve Run & Roll Virtual 5K - September 25 - October 3, 2021.
