A motorcycle accident in 2003 left Matthew Castelluccio with a T6 spinal cord injury. He credits the United Spinal Association with providing the resources and mentoring to help him become comfortable as a paraplegic, and Helen Hayes Hospital with exposing him to adapted sports. Following his rehab there, he joined the hospital as its adapted sports program coordinator/patient mentor in November 2007. He has not only facilitated the hospital’s membership as a Paralympic Sports Club and a Disabled Sports USA chapter, but has spearheaded the establishment of the Hudson Valley Chapter of United Spinal, of which he is president.
