Functional Electrical Stimulation
The Dustin Shillcox Foundation donates an FES bike to Neuroworx, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Neuroworx is a non-profit community based outpatient physical therapy clinic. An FES bike is a great way for people living with spinal cord injuries to increase blood flow, circulation, and build muscle. Dustin used the FES bike until he outgrew the machine. Dustin was able to benefit and now he wants others to be able to do the same.
Dustin has recently partnered with Riven Apparel, and is releasing a clothing line called DSF as a way to raise funds to help purhcase necessary equipment, such as the FES, for people suffering from spinal cord injuries. Dustin is excited that "This is one of the goals that the purchasing of the clothing line for the Dustin Shillcox Foundation go towards."
Dustin was recently featured on The Riven Live #007 Radio Show: What Are You Gonna Do Now

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?" Inquire about Dustin's availability to speak at your next business meeting, conference, charity event, school, church or graduation event. If you are looking to inspire your crowd to overcome personal challenges, and motivate into action, Dustin needs to be your next call! 307.870.6764
