The idea for Hometown Heroes was inspired by the thousands of people who participate in UroMed's online peer support community on Facebook through their non-profit program, Life After Spinal Cord Injury. As the LASCI Facebook community continually shares their own stories and pictures of success in everyday life, UroMed wanted to help spread the good news even further to eliminate stereotypes associated with disabilities and to inspire even more people who may not have yet discovered Life After Spinal Cord Injury.
"As a quadriplegic, I understand the role that personal independence combined with community support plays in achieving a full, successful life after spinal cord injury or some other disabling condition," UroMed founder Bert Burns, a C6-7 quadriplegic, explains. "The best part of the Hometown Heroes program is that we are sharing the personal stories of people who have already moved forward. Being able to identify with someone else's personal example can help someone in moving beyond a life-changing injury."
