“The thought of regaining the ability to stand and walk, control my bladder and bowels, to move my hands, and to have stable cardiovascular function – that’s what drives me to keep pushing forward in my recovery journey,” Richter, 20, said.
“These may seem like small things to some people, but for me, they would be life-changing achievements.”
