In this powerful episode of D&M's with DEAN, I sit down with Josh Wood and Kay Ledson to explore the profound impact a spinal cord injury can have, not just on the individual but on their loved ones as well. Josh shares his story of surviving a devastating spinal cord injury at the age of 18 while snowboarding at Mt. Buller, and how his life—and the lives of those around him—were forever changed by the accident.

Kay Ledson, a fierce advocate for those affected by spinal cord injuries, joins us to discuss her incredible journey walking across America to raise funds and awareness. Facing immense challenges, Kay completed 90% of the walk on her own, battling through a broken foot, wild dogs, lawless towns, and even walking in malls to reach her step count when the weather wouldn’t cooperate. Her story is a testament to determination, resilience, and the power of community support in the face of life-altering adversity.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about overcoming obstacles, the strength of the human spirit, and the ripple effect a serious injury has on both individuals and their closest loved ones.
