The EPRU Board is happy to announce that we have booked Robert Paylor as a guest speaker on Wednesday, April 28, at 8PM via zoom.
In one moment, Robert was in the best day of his life, competing for the collegiate rugby national championship. In the next moment, his life changed forever. Robert suffered a spinal cord injury in the first minutes of the game and found himself face down in the turf unable to move anything below his neck. His doctor told him he would never walk or move his hands for the rest of his life. Through an unbreakable vision and relentless determination, Robert is defying the odds. He has graduated from UC Berkeley, is winning the fight to walk again, and is sharing his method of how he achieves his goals. Every person faces challenges; Robert’s are just visible and the skills that he uses to overcome paralysis can be used by all to help overcome life’s challenges. His message is inspiring and can help regardless of how daunting your challenges may seem.
