Matthew and Kate talk with Kathy Allen and Sandra Mulder, the first two participants in the EStand Trial in Minnesota. Kathy and Sandra (as well as Jered Chinook who participated in the Mayo Clinic’s Epidural Stimulation study) were invited to attend the American Spinal Injury Association Conference in April to share their personal experiences as part of a conversation facilitated by U2FP’s Executive Director, Matthew Rodreick. We thought it would be helpful to hear from them directly on the podcast. We talk about their early experiences in the trial, where they are now, and what they continue to experience. It’s a nice follow up to the Epsiode #30 interview with Dr. David Darrow, the principal investigator of the EStand trial. If you haven’t listened to that one, check it out to fill in all the information.

We talk with David about the EStand Trial using Epidural Stimulation for spinal cord injury, the trial design, progress, next steps, and its connection the Cure Advocacy Network. The informal title of this episode is ‘The Transformation of Suffering’, which is David’s eloquent and personal description of why he’s doing what he does and what he is hoping to accomplish with the trial and treatment of SCI.

Today I'm in the company of a very very special hairdresser, Mitch Chalmers! Mitch was left paralysed from the chest down following a motocross accident in 2014 at the age of just 22. In an incredibly moving, touching and inspirational interview we're going to learn how through sheer determination Mitch has since retrained and pursued his dream of becoming a hairdresser. From 6 years of age, Mitch's passion was in motocross bike racing that saw him race all over the country. But all this came to an abrupt and devastating end after a life changing accident. Entering into extremely dark place, Mitch found it hard adjusting to life not being able to walk, in pain and in a wheelchair! Deciding it was time to turn his life around, Mitch wanted to retrain in something he would both enjoy and be good at – working full-time as a professional hairdresser! Now for the next part of Mitch's journey is receiving revolutionary Epidural Stimulation treatment, the most advance treatment for Spinal Cord Injuries available. Costing £56,000 to receive the treatment, Mitch is on mission – with help from Akito Scissors, to raise funds for this revolutionary treatment to help him learn to walk again. And today we're going to find out how we can all play our part in helping Mitch raise the funds he needs with his #LetsGetMitchWalking Go Fund Me Campaign.   Thanks for Listening To share your thoughts: Leave a note in the comment section below.
