I attended the 2025 Racing To Recovery Gala put on by Conquer Paralysis Now. 🌆
.
Sam Schmidt, an Indy car team owner who is a quadriplegic, created the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation, now Conquer Paralysis Now, and Sam Schmidt Motorsports, now Arrow McLaren. ♿
.
This event was to raise money for the #DRIVEN #NeuroRecovery Center in Indianapolis, which they opened last year! 🏥
.
Since I went to the event last year, I knew what to expect and was dressed appropriately this time. 👔
.
I got to listen to Tony Kanaan and Nolan Siegel discuss the Indy 500 with Allen Bestwick. 🎤
.
Live and silent auctions were held (with items out of my price range), and donations were taken to fund the efforts. 💲
.
I donated $500 and am glad I could have a small part in the project. 👍🏼
.
Over $2 million was raised at the event to help people like me with neuro-related injuries who were sent home with limited therapy due to insurance not covering costs. 💯
.
Chris Daughtry, lead singer and guitarist for the rock band Daughtry, which he formed after coming in fourth on American Idol season five, performed after the event. 🎸
.
I think it would be cool to visit the recovery center and see it in person! 👀
.
Do you know about the DRIVEN NeuroRecovery Center? 🤔

I was invited to attend the Indy 500 practice opening day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 🏎️
.
It was an honor to watch it from Suite 10 in the Pagoda. 🤵🏽‍♂️
.
I exchanged my ID for a Garage/Pit pass and got to get close to the action. 👀
.
Luckily, it the rained slacked off and cars were able to run! ☀️

Have you ever been to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway? 🤔

After suffering a spinal cord injury and becoming a quadriplegic with no finger function, many tasks become either difficult or impossible. ♿
.
However, several tools and strategies can make daily activities easier and more manageable, helping you live with a spinal cord injury. 👍🏼

One of my must-haves is ‪@180medical‬ as my medical supplier. 💯

A #spinalcordinjury affects the body's ability to regulate temperature. In my new video, I talk about the causes, preventions, symptoms, and treatments of issues with body temperature regulation after a spinal cord injury. What is your experience with regulating your body temperature with a spinal cord injury? 🤔

Today is January 19, 2025. I became a quadriplegic on January 19, 2015. 📅
.
Today is the 10th anniversary of wrecking my vehicle, which changed my life forever. 💥🚗
.
I have now been a quadriplegic for 10 years. ♿
.
Today just feels like another day. 🤷🏽‍♂️
.
I suppose this is because it feels normal to live as a quadriplegic after doing it for 10 years. 🔟
.
When I found out I was paralyzed, I told myself that I was going to live life just like I would've bodied, and I think I have done that pretty well so far. 👍🏽
.
Some accomplishments I am proud to have
made in the last 10 years:
Graduating high school with Academic Honors 🎒
Getting a full-time, well-paying job 👨🏽‍💻
Driving a vehicle with hand controls 🚗
Graduating college summa cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology 📚
Creating videos to help other people while building a YouTube channel to over 10,000 subscribers and over 1.2 million views 🎥
.
What is your experience of being paralyzed? 🤔

When I came home from rehab after my spinal cord injury, I didn't think I’d be able to catheterize myself independently. But finding the right catheter made that possible which changed my life. If you’re looking for a catheter option that works for you, @ical makes it easy to request free samples so you can discover what’s possible! ♿ Click here: catheters.180medical.com/mason/

I recently went to Nashville, Tennesee to see my hat on the Hat Wall in Category 10, and to have a little vacation. 👍🏼
.
Luke Combs opened a bar called #Category10 and requested his fans send in their favorite hat with an explanation of what the hat means to them for their hat to possibly be featured on the Hat Wall inside the bar.
.
I sent in my Country Boys Can Survive hat, and it was one of the hats chosen to be on the Hat Wall in the bar. 😲
.
I recorded the trip taking you to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Ole Smoky Distillery, Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, and different restaurants. 🎵
.
I wanted to go on a backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry, ride in a helicopter over Nashville, and look at ice sculptures, but that didn't happen. 😔
.
Have you been to #Nashville? 🤔

Being in a wheelchair, you probably have stuff you need to carry with you, and more than likely, carry it in a backpack. 🎒
.
It's important to have somewhere on your wheelchair you can easily store and access your backpack. ♿
.
When I got my Permobil C300 wheelchair and my Permobil F5 VS wheelchair, there was nowhere on the wheelchair to put my backpack to take with me and easily access it. 👎🏼

I came up with an idea that I have been using for several years that works great. 💡
.
How do you carry your backpack? 🤔
