Aiming Higher Every Year with Eric and Reeve
A big thank you to all of you who contributed to my Walk to Believe. I raised over $21,000 from an incredible 85 different supporters. I’m truly awestruck by the generosity of friends, family, and colleagues. -
Getting One Step CLOSE-R To A Cure For Paralysis
When Ron Gold became paralyzed in 2011, he was told not to focus on a cure, but rather to learn how to live his life in a wheelchair following a head-on bicycling accident. Today, he’s the top fundraiser for the cure at Eric LeGrand’s “A Walk to Believe." -

Ron Gold Speaking at TEDx NJIT
When a head-on bicycling crash with an SUV crushed my spine and left me a paraplegic in 2011, I found very little inspiration from my very broken body. That is, until I realized how my broken body could be the impetus to help fix America's broken home care system. -

Now That I’ve Learned to Live with Paralysis, It’s Time to Fundraise for a Cure

Should Prolonging Life Always Be the Goal in Health Care?
Doctors are trained to help people extend life as long as possible, but the question some people are now raising is, “What kind of life are they prolonging?” More questions need to be asked about whether this is really what all people want. And we need a greater emphasis on palliative care to mitigate pain and other symptoms.
