"As the Peer Coordinator for the SCI Peer Mentoring Program at Magee Rehab and a person with a C5 SCI, I have personally seen the impact of the power of peer mentoring. Many patients at this stage of rehab are unwilling to accept their disability, so are cautious of talks by someone who's "been there, done that." Your ease of movement, use of personal photographs, and humor make for a dynamic presentation that softens the sometimes heavy topics you cover. You offer real hope for a fulfilling life."
— Marie Protesto, Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, Philadephia, PA

"Gary was very organized and professional. His presentation was informative and entertaining and his message was on the mark to his audience of newly-injured SCI patients, their families, community members and hospital staff."
— Eric Motel, Shepherd Center Rehab, Atlanta

"Thank you for coming to Mount Sinai. The therapists, patients, and family members thought your inservice was great, and it created plenty of discussion afterwards."
— Laurie Allen, PT, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City

"We were excited to have such a wonderful author and speaker share his time and work with us. Gary was able to provide our staff, students, and patients an inspirational yet educational talk about his life experiences. You have a remarkable story and are committed to sharing it with others so that their journey will be an enlightened one."
