Since my journey began with spinal cord injury, I have learned that I must be equipped with the necessary armor allowing me the ability and opportunity to adapt and improvise. The more appropriate options I have available to me, the more apt I am able to enjoy and participate in life. Rosalie and Dariusz Dudkiewicz are the inventors of the Zero Compression Back Brace. They have become family of my heart. Rosalie initially reached out to me to share how my journey greatly encouraged, guided, and inspired her personal journey through chronic back pain. Since then, we have spoken for hours at a time sharing our experiences, our hope, and our faith. I am once again completely humbled by the magnitude of my journey, my life, serving as a vessel to help others triumph over adversity. Rosalie and her husband gifted me a Zero Compression Back Brace. The day after it arrived I wore it for several hours while working around the house, exercising, and playing with Sierra outside. I absolutely loved it!!! All I could do was think about how many lives this back brace could improve. We spoke the next day. I shared with Rosalie how much this brace meant to me and how thankful I was for their generosity. I also explained in detail how the brace they designed was greatly needed within the arachnoiditis, spinal cord injury, and chronic back pain communities. It was then we joined together as a vessel for the greater good, and were able to bless 50 arachnoiditis and spinal cord injury patients with a Zero Compression Back Brace. It filled my heart immensely to be able to pay it forward to those who have become brothers and sisters of my heart.
