Hi Quad-list! I recently joined the quad-list, but I've had some trouble getting my emails through. I am trying another email address of mine and I hope this works.
My name is Britt and I'm the co-founder of SPINALpedia.com, which is the new SCI resource that Dana emailed about a few days ago. My dad has been a C6-7 quad since he was in a car accident in 1998 when I was 12 years old and a C5 quad friend of mine and I have developed this resource together over the last few years. SPINALpedia is a free user-generated how-to video network that is filtered to one's specific degree of mobility and a place for people to connect and learn from each other. We have thousands of videos –from the basics (transferring) to the extreme (adapted skydiving). Regardless of how many years you've been paralyzed, you can find what you're looking for and make what you wish you knew when you were first paralyzed available to others in your situation (similar to what Bobbie suggested about YouTube). Our goal is to reach and unite more of the SCI community by providing resources that actually teach people how to adapt life tasks and get people in the right mindset, no matter where you live. I recently quit my job to take on SPINALpedia full time, so this is a very exciting time for us. We already have over 1000 members from all over the world and 3000+ videos, and we hope to reach everyone who can benefit from it. I can answer any questions you may have, and I hope that it will be helpful. I look forward to connecting with you all. :) Thanks so much, Britt
