Limitless....What Are You Gonna Do Now?

Motivation...

Define your limits. Don't let your limits define you. Believe you are limitless and you will be.


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 avaibalility 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

Paraylzed- 5 Years Ago

5 Years...

It’s been 5 years today, since I was in my car accident that left me paralyzed. I’ve been through some hard and very rough times; days where I wasn’t sure about my life.

It’s also been a pretty great experience! I’ve met some amazing people, had the opportunity to be part of an exciting spinal cord research program and now I’m doing things that I never dreamed of. This has all happened to me because of the best friends and family anyone could ask for!! I can’t thank you all enough for the love and support I’ve received, I wouldn’t be where I’m at toady, without you.

I have to say as crazy as it might sound, (and not that I don’t wish I was walking again), but I wouldn’t change my life today for anything! Thank you all so much. I love you!!

-Dustin
