Guest Experts
Have you wondered how your vehicle might be modified to support your family's mobility needs or even what is out there to promote independence on the road? Well this is for you! We are so excited to welcome Paul Erway from Superior Van and Mobility! Paul sees the opportunity to help others faced with the same challenges he himself has experienced as a gratifying experience.
In 1980 Paul was involved in a life changing experience a freak automobile accident that left Paul paralyzed from the chest down. Despite being told by doctors he would never walk again, Paul didn't let that stop him from achieving great things. In fact Paul has not let much hold him back.
In 2013, Paul and two other individuals took on a huge challenge of the idea for 50/50/50 or 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 weeks a year long mission that involved a vast amount of support and personal dedication. The challenge was a way to create awareness of spinal cord research, raise funds for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, and at the same time help others with disabilities see through their challenges and focus on the clarity of living life to its fullest.
