07 Steven Dowd: Men, Paralysis and Recovery
Steven Dowd committed to get fit and registered for a charity cycling event. He bought a bike, started training and one idyllic June morning in 2016, he left his home to meet a friend for the daily commute on his bike, but he never arrived... a horrific life-changing accident, a broken neck, total paralysis and a bleak future. Against the odds, Steven fought back and now raises money for charities including Wings for Life Spinal Cord Injury Foundation (wingsforlife.com) and The Para Rowing Foundation (pararowingfoundation.org)
Key points from the episode:
How a devastating accident turned his life upside down....
....but how he thought of an immediate coping strategy.
A key decision that he made that was intimately connected to his rehabilitation.
The magic of a "200 day promise"
His contribution to the world now.
An inspiring (and do-able) vision for future generations.
