🏔️ A Note from Emily, NeuAbility’s Executive Director

During Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month, I’m reflecting on what you have taught me in my first eight months at NeuAbility.

Our members are powerful. You are thoughtful, intentional, and committed. You advocate for yourselves and remind me that listening is a responsibility. Your voices should help shape our future.

To every member, family member, board member, staff member, ambassador, intern, and volunteer who has helped build this community over nearly 20 years: thank you.

We hear from people across Colorado and beyond who wish they had a NeuAbility nearby. Each inquiry represents someone seeking strength, wellness, and connection. When formal rehabilitation ends, those needs continue.

As we approach our 20th anniversary, we’re planning to strengthen our services and expand access. Whether you share your experience, connect someone with us, or tell us how we can improve, you help shape what comes next.

Join us at Strive on October 23 at Mile High Station to celebrate this community and support our Equipment Fund, including our effort to replace our FES bikes.

You have my gratitude, my attention, and my commitment to the work ahead. Let’s keep moving mountains together.

With gratitude,
Emily

Myth VS Fact 🤔

What does the level of a spinal cord injury mean 🤔

Where a spinal cord injury occurs helps explain which areas of the body may be affected, but injury level is only part of the picture.



Cervical injuries, C1–C8, may affect the arms, hands, trunk, legs, and pelvic organs. Higher cervical injuries may also affect breathing.

Thoracic injuries, T1–T12, generally preserve arm and hand function but may affect trunk control, balance, the legs, and pelvic organs.

Lumbar and sacral injuries, L1–S5, may affect the hips, legs, feet, and pelvic organs while generally preserving arm and trunk function.

🏔️ Tickets are now available for NeuAbility’s 2026 Strive Gala!
