The local spinal cord injury support groups (SCISG

The local spinal cord injury support groups (SCISG) gathered earlier this week in the Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for an afternoon of adaptive sport and recreation presentations and demonstrations. And check out that crowd! The people have spoken, and they want activity. We are honored to have the opportunity to work with @jacksonhealth to help community organizations to host events such as this that align with all our missions. #MiamiProject #UniversityofMiami #JacksonHealth #BetterTogether

Last night as I watched Damar Hamlin suffer his tragic injury, it reminded me of October 26, 1985 when I suffered a catastrophic SCI that left me a quadriplegic. I remember the ambulance coming on the field and all my teammates surround me and watch me being loaded onto a stretcher as I fought for my life. What I didn’t realize was the emotional impact that this would have on my teammates. What we didn’t know at the time was that it would change the trajectory of all of their lives, and create an unforgettable and unbreakable bond.

Just like my injury coalesced a movement to find a cure for paralysis. I am in awe of all the support from Damar’s family, friends, and people from around the world who are pulling for him. I don’t want any of us to underestimate how these traumatic incidents effect not only the person and their family, but many others in ways we don’t always realize. What does inspire me is the goodness of people everywhere, coming together to help and care for others to engender goodwill toward our fellow citizens.

Please pray for Damar and the Bills and Bengals organizations. Allow them all the time to heal. As I lay on the field, at that moment I couldn’t imagine such a tragedy turning into such a triumph. It would inspire the creation of The Miami Project at the University of Miami. I am comforted by all the love and support shown Damar these past 24 hours. Through the grace of God and great medical care, he will make a complete and full recovery. Marc Buoniconti
