Manage episode 410550314 series 3557096
Rob Tortorella became paralyzed in a car accident just days after his college graduation. He shares his journey of recovery and the unbreakable mentality he has developed over the years.
On Rob's 50th birthday, he was surprised with the gift of a 501C3, which eventually became the Endless Highway Foundation. The foundation aims to dismantle barriers and make recreation more inclusive for people with disabilities. Rob believes that his gift to the world is his empathy and ability to connect with others.
