Safety Tip

Smart Choices...

We all know that it's horrible when something bad happens. Hearing of car accident, someone getting injured or even killed, these are terrible things. The problem is, most people think "stuff like that, well it's not going to happen to me." (I used to think the same thing, until it did happened to me.) Now, I buckle up.

Unfortunate accidents will happen! And it's important that you take safety serious. Buckling up, safety glasses, hearing protection, steel toed boots, making sure your vehicle is safe, etcetera are all great steps to take to keep yourself safe. There are many other things we can do to protect ourselves and others; What are you gonna do?  Lets start 2016 with making smart choices! 

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?"
