DSF Gear Helps Make  A Difference...

My good friend, Lizzy Pritchett, like me, is living with a spinal cord injury and she has been the best person I could ask for to have in my life. I'm so honored and glad that the Dustin Shillcox Foundation was able to make a positive impact on her life. Below is one example of how purchasing DSF Gear can make a difference. I want to say thank you for the support as we continue to make help others! -Dustin


By Lizzy Pritchett:
I am beyond thankful for the generosity of the Dustin Shillcox Foundation. The standing frame that has been donated to me has been such a blessing. I live four hours away from any physical therapy clinic that might have this kind of equipment so now that I have a standing frame at home, I can ensure that I am standing multiple times throughout the week. As most spinal cord injuries know; standing and weight-bearing helps with bone density and organ function. The Dustin Shillcox Foundation has literally helped me sustain my health.
Not only has Dustin given me a standing frame, but he has been an amazing mentor and friend. I have a C5 spinal cord injury and, with the advice and encouragement of Dustin, I went from fully doubting myself to finding my most powerful self.
Thank you Dustin Shillcox Foundation!

Learn more about Lizzy's story here. One way Dustin is helping raise awareness is through the clothing line that was recently launched, it's called DSF Gear. The proceeds benefit those with spinal cord injuries. Dustin believes in giving back and recently donated an FES Bike.  Take a look at the new clothing line and order your DSF Gear 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
