In April 2000, David Briggs was in a motorcycle accident and suffered spinal cord injury. He was introduced to many recreational therapy activities during his 3 1/2 month stay in Spinal Cord Injury Program at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, including handcycling – a sport he actively enjoys. This year, David will compete in the handcycle division of the 2013 River Bank Run. In this first video of David’s training series, you will hear about what motivates him to stay active, healthy and engaged.
