From My Chair with Beto

Welcome to From My Chair with Beto.

When I was 15 years old, a surfing accident broke my neck and left me paralyzed from the chest down. In a matter of seconds, my life changed.

Over the last 32 years living with spinal cord injury, I have rebuilt my life as a journalist, professor, author of From My Chair and Waves of Courage, and founder of the Gurmilan Foundation, an organization dedicated to expanding opportunities for people with disabilities.

This channel is where I share the lessons, perspective, and experience.

Here you will find conversations about:

• Life after spinal cord injury
• Advice for newly injured SCI survivors
• Guidance for families and caregivers
• Independence, purpose, and rebuilding life
• Adaptive living and wheelchair life
• Mindset, resilience, and overcoming adversity

If you or someone you love is navigating life after spinal cord injury, you are not alone.

This channel exists to help you see what is still possible.

Welcome to From My Chair.
