In 1994 Larry Dunn, then a very misguided youth, suffered a self-inflicted spinal cord injury. Unresolved childhood pain had set him on a destructive path that would lead to either prison or the grave. Ironically, this tragic event saved his life and made it more purposeful. Dealing with the pain of his spinal cord injury changed his life for the better and put him on a path to personal redemption and inspiration to others. As a quadriplegic, Larry was forced to face his demons, and on this journey found peace, purpose, and eventually, himself. He realized that his tragedy was bigger than himself; that now it was his triumph that could be used to help others. Larry is a mentor at Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center where he counsels and assists newly-injured spinal cord injury patients. Larry's incredible transformation and endurance will touch the hearts of many. Larry is a true survivor and a gift to many.
