“I'm glad I didn't wait until I retired to do the things that I wanted to do…cause now that we've been in rehab, we see people way younger, little kids, people in their twenties that are in worse shape. And it's like, man, at least I had 60 years of doing what I wanted to do.”
In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, host Donna Ferris sits down with Cindy Ross, a seasoned adventurer and writer, and her husband, Todd Gladfelter, whose life took a dramatic turn after a severe spinal cord injury. Together, they share their incredible journey, from hiking the Appalachian Trail and building a log home to navigating the challenges of Todd's recovery. Cindy and Todd open up about the mindset, determination, and grit that has carried them through, drawing parallels between their outdoor adventures and daily battles. They also discuss the importance of community, the benefits of the simple life, the healing power of hiking in nature, and their upcoming cross-country bike trip to raise awareness for accessible nature trails.
