Changes- You will be defined by how you handle it

Own the Moment

It's hard to believe that winter is almost here, time flies! From winter, summer, fall, and spring I try to enjoy every moment possible even when things are going horribly wrong. Life will through us curve balls and things change, but we all own the moment, we get to decide on the choices we make and that will determine the outcome of your future. When times are hard keep pushing forward, because you're not going to be defined by the challenge you come up against, but you'll be defined by how handle it. Make that choice and improve your situation and inspire others to do the same!! -Dustin

Dustin Shillcox’s life drastically changed when he was in a car accident August 2010 and sustained major spinal cord damage, a broken upper arm, collapsed lungs, broken ribs, cracked sternum & mild brain injury. Dustin’s complete T-5 spinal cord injury (SCI) left him with no feeling below his mid-chest, causing paralysis from the chest down.

Now paralyzed, and living his life in a wheel chair, Dustin was told he would never again be able to move below his waist again, but after participating in a cutting edge SCI research project, at the University of Kentucky in Louisville, he is now able to move his legs and stand once again. Dustin is living his life to the fullest, sharing his story, journey of overcoming obstacles, and faith while raising funds for spinal cord research. Through his motivational speaking and the Dustin Shillcox Foundation, he is helping to improve the lives of people in wheelchairs.

Dustin delivers an inspiring message about never giving up, and the power of a positive attitude in his speech "What Are You Gonna Do Now?"
