SCI Connections Creating a Buzz
NorCal SCI and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center co-hosted their quarterly SCI Connections event on Wednesday, May 28th, to great success. Over 30 attendees enjoyed engaging presentations and the chance to socialize over pizza.
Just some of the participants and presenters at SCI Connections
Reimagining Ability: Adaptive sports and leisure activities certainly left little to the imagination as we found out what was possible from hand cycling up mountains to flying over them.
We would like to thank all the presenters for making it such a fun and informative session, who knew that becoming a pilot is a real possibility.
