What Do We Do Now: Mason Branstrator and One Family's Road Through Paralysis, Building Community and Connection

Mason was seventeen, a junior in high school, and a record-holding runner when he hit a ski jump going a little too fast and broke his T12 vertebra. He became paralyzed. The next morning, he woke up and said: we need to make a plan. In this episode, Mason and his mom Stacy talk about what paralysis really looks like - the losses that reveal themselves slowly, the community that showed up through CaringBridge and Craig Hospital, and how a teenage athlete became a disability advocate with a following of thousands. Honest, funny, and genuinely moving.
