CureCast on Quadcast

Jason Stoffer


Matthew and I were recently interviewed on the Quadcast Podcast with host and SCI community member John McAleavey. 
 


They talk about SCI, U2FP, CureCast and the work to engage our community in the cure effort. Here’s John: 

Have I got a show for you this week! Matthew Rodreick & Jason Stoffer, co-hosts of the CureCast Podcast, are my guests. You'll hear about how spinal cord injury found its way into their lives, the work they do for and with unite2fight paralysis, and how through advocacy, education, and support for research, they continue to push for a complete and total cure for paralysis. I really enjoyed getting to know them, and I think you will too!
 


Then watch for the next CureCast episode which is an interview with Brain Computer Interface researchers, Daniel Kramer and Luke Bashford.

In the meantime, here’s a little bit more background about the QuadCast: 

My name is John McAleavey, and on August 19, 1992 I suffered a Central Cord Syndrome injury to my cervical spine at the C-3/4 level following a fall down my basement steps. I was told early on that no two SCI’s are the same, and while that may be true, many of the struggles we're left with are. So let's talk about them. The QuadCast Podcast is mainly aimed at the disabled community, but is really for ANYONE looking to be inspired. You'll hear from fellow SCI'ers, to highlight their personal stories of struggle and triumph, doctors, therapists, and others who work on behalf of our community to share any new developments or breakthroughs in the fight. I hope that by talking/sharing/commiserating/LAUGHING, we will fully understand that no one is alone in this. Think of the QuadCast as a 30 to 45 minute session of OT/PT for the soul!
