Murray Siple
Murray was injured in a car crash when a friend driving the vehicle accelerated and drove them over a cliff, causing the car to land on its roof. The impact compressed his neck and temporarily paralyzed his body. After the accident, a misread x-ray in the emergency room led to the removal of his neck collar, resulting in a permanent spinal cord injury and tetraplegia.
“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" - Jack Kerouac, On The Road”

“This grant allows me to find the medicine I need by surfing in the cold, home water of Canada's West Coast with my friends and prove to others I have no limitations when it comes to desire and adrenaline.“
