Casey was injured in a motorcycle accident while riding through a canyon when he encountered a truck stopped in the road around a blind corner. Attempting to avoid a collision, he went off-road, lost control, and the bike rolled before landing on top of him. The crash resulted in a severe spinal cord injury, leaving him a T4 complete paraplegic.

“you got a heavy load of suffering to bare and a fair bit of it is going to be unjust. what are you going to do about it? Accept it voluntarily, and try to transform as a consequence.”
