Dustin Shillcox Foundation

The Dustin Shillcox Foundation was started with the goal in mind to help improve people's lives who are in wheelchairs and also help raise money for spinal cord research. For the most part right now the goal is focusing on the moment. There are people all over the world who are in wheelchairs. It's so important to help improve the lives for those people right now, of course we all want out of theses chairs and back on our feet and that will happen. Today, we all own the moment; we get to decide what we are going to do! The better you can take care of yourself and body today, it better it will improve the results you get when treatment does become available.

Dustin Shillcox Foundation clothing line (DSF) gear- Coming soon! You will be able to purchase clothes at www.DustinShillcox.com  and the proceeds to this will go towards raising money for an individual or an entire group. We will have goals set up where you can see what we are raising money for and how much we need. 

-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?"
