🚨 Big news! 🚨 We’re thrilled to welcome Britt Sutton, JD as the new CEO of Conquer Paralysis Now! Please join us in giving Britt a warm welcome as we continue the fight to Conquer Paralysis Now 💪 #NewLeadership #ConquerParalysisNow #DRIVENtoRecover
🚨 Save the Date! 🚨 🏁 Join us for the Racing to Recovery Gala – a night of inspiration and impact in support of Conquer Paralysis Now. 📅 Date: May 23rd 2025 📍 Location: Indiana Roof Ballroom 🎟️ Stay tuned for ticket details and more!
🌍📚 Today, on International Day of Education, we celebrate the power of learning and the opportunity for everyone—no matter their abilities—to access education, grow, and thrive. At Conquer Paralysis Now, we believe that education is the key to empowerment.
🍂 What are you thankful for this year? Let us know in the comments—we’d love to celebrate with you!
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at CPN! ✨🦃 Today, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible individuals who make our mission possible. From the generous donors and tireless volunteers to the advocates and supporters who inspire hope—we are so thankful for YOU. ❤️
With 275 stunning vehicles on display and record-breaking attendance, this year’s event was Concours' biggest celebration yet. 🏎️ Check out some of the incredible cars featured and join us in congratulating Sam on this well-deserved honor! ⬇️ linkagemag.com/concours-at-wy…
Earlier this month, Conquer Paralysis Now Founder Sam Schmidt was awarded the prestigious 'Lifetime Achievement' award as one of three Honorary Helene recipients at the third annual Concours at Wynn Las Vegas! 🏆
@robertwickens At CPN, we’re here to support and uplift caregivers who play an essential role in helping loved ones regain independence. Join us as we honor the dedication of caregivers like Karli and encourage others to prioritize their own well-being.
@robertwickens Through her own journey, Karli has discovered self-care practices—small but powerful ways she finds joy and recharges while navigating her caregiving journey.❤️
In honor of National Family Caregivers Month, we’re collaborating with Karli Wickens. Her husband, @robertwickens, was paralyzed in a racing accident in 2018.
Together, we’re driving progress towards a cure and enhancing lives every step of the way. Help us continue making a difference—consider donating to CPN today. ❤️ 🔗 Link to donate: bit.ly/m/Ways-To-Give… #ConquerParalysisNow #TermTuesday #Donate
At CPN, we’re dedicated to empowering those affected by paralysis and neurological conditions through cutting-edge research, innovative recovery programs, and compassionate support.
Term Tuesday: What is Paraplegia? Paraplegia refers to the loss of movement and sensation in the lower half of the body, usually resulting from a spinal cord injury.
For those injured in the line of duty, Conquer Paralysis Now and DRIVEN stand ready to support you on your journey to regain independence and strength. We are here with you and for you. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Today, we honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of our veterans. Your commitment to serving our country inspires deep gratitude and respect. #VeteransDay #HonorAndRespect #CPN
At Conquer Paralysis Now, we’re dedicated to raising awareness, supporting research, and empowering individuals affected by TSCI. Together, let’s advocate for prevention and push toward breakthroughs in recovery. #ConquerParalysisNow #FactFriday #SpinalCordInjuryAwareness
🔍 Fact Friday! Did you know? Approximately 80% of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) are male. 💡 The incidence of TSCI in young men is a staggering 20 times higher than in young women.
The day before the event, we watched 10 of our DRIVEN LV clients take the wheel of the Arrow Electronics SAM car—some driving for the very first time, and others returning to the driver’s seat since their injuries. #ConquerParalysisNow #DriveToThrive #SAMCarExperience
#TBT Big thanks to everyone who joined us for the Drive to Thrive event in Las Vegas! ❤️🚗 A huge shoutout to Alexander Rossi and Nolan Siegel for sharing this special day with us and adding to the excitement on the track. Your support means the world to our mission!
If you know a caregiver who deserves a shoutout, let us know in the comments! Let’s celebrate their invaluable role in helping loved ones conquer challenges and embrace every moment. #ConquerParalysisNow #FamilyCaregiversMonth #CaregiverAppreciation
In this photo from Christmas Day in 2000, you’ll see CPN Founder Sam Schmidt with his daughter Savannah on his lap, and his wife Sheila holding their son Spencer. Sam is deeply grateful for the support and selflessness his family has shown in caring for him over the years.
November is National Family Caregivers Month, and we want to recognize the incredible caregivers who provide vital support for those with spinal cord injuries and neurological conditions. Their dedication, strength, and compassion make a world of difference every single day. ❤️
