Talking with Rob Parsons for five minutes will have you forgetting he’s in a wheelchair. A fabricator by trade and competitive in BMX, motocross, and skiing prior to his accident, the Canada native is known for pushing himself to the breaking point—and the wheelchair hasn’t changed that. In fact, some would say Parsons is more driven and determined now than he ever was before. Rob’s accident was in the summer of 2011 at a local motocross track, where he landed short on his dirt bike and broke every bone in both legs—tibia, fibula, and femurs—severed his spinal cord, and punctured a lung. Rob would never walk again. While hospitalised for six months, Rob began planning new ways to participate in the sports he loved. Upon his release, he was immediately back at it, the plans of building a hand-controlled car already mapped out in his head after months in a hospital bed. Rob had a goal and couldn’t be stopped. Teaming up with stunt professional Eliza Coleman, he continues to push for these goals for himself and others, every single day.
Andy Blood was injured in 2004 on the job as a lineman for Xcel Energy. But the accident does not define him. Upon meeting Andy, anyone would agree that he is marked by a true dedication to the disability community in Colorado, as well as a unique drive to achieve his dreams, despite the added challenges that come with life in a wheelchair.
After a long and grueling road to recovery, Andy's first ambition was to found a nonprofit organization to service individuals in wheelchairs. He realized this dream and has helped dozens of individuals regain their independence and mobility by getting back behind the wheel of a vehicle by donating crucial adaptive vehicle modifications through Blood Brothers Foundation. Refusing to stop there, Andy has spent the last 3 years launching two successful companies, Runnit Ink and Runnit CNC, screen printing and metal fabrication.
And he hasn't slowed down yet.
Andy's sights are now set on developing an off road training park in Grand Junction, CO where he can train as a professional trophy truck driver while also sharing a unique off road experience through teaching others how to drive
It is not his wheelchair that will remain as Andy's legacy, rather it will be the opportunities he's created for himself and others, to be something, to build something, and to leave a lasting impression in the lives of those he's touched.
