Tune in to hear us unpack this week's episode with Rick Werry.
Rick Werry was born in a small town in Utah, US and grew up on a dairy farm, the youngest of four children. He loved sports and being outdoors as a teenager. In 2007 Rick married his college sweetheart Tara. One year later while building their house, Rick was in a construction accident and broke his neck. His life changed that day - he paralyzed from the chest down. Rick was scared, sad and unsure what the future would hold when a nurse came into his hospital room. The nurse was holding a red pen and a calendar. She told Rick that any time you accomplish something you couldn't do yesterday we will write it down and call it a "Red Letter Day.”
Rick has taken that nurse's advice not only in recovering from a spinal cord injury, but also in life. In Rick’s ‘wheelchair life’ he has accomplished many amazing things; he is a husband, a father, an avid hand-cyclist, a wheelchair rugby player, and a hunter. Rick is compiling his life lessons and “Red Letter Days” into a memoir and is passionate about using his journey to inspire others.
