Learning how to walk again has taken years. It was six weeks until I wiggled my first toe, four months in rehab, ten months in a chair, walking in a year but it's now been a decade to keep fighting for my ability to stay on my feet. A journey worth fighting for.
The Wings For Life World Run is coming up and I'm proud to be "Running for those who can't". Or rather... walking. Hopefully you find some inspiration in this and can join me in Niagara Falls to support spinal cord injuries. Cheers!

ABOUT KEVIN REMPEL
===================
Kevin Rempel has surmounted incredible life-challenges to reach the Olympic podium and now to bring his powerful message of hope and resilience to audiences through his speaking, writing, and coaching.
A freestyle motocross accident left Kevin an incomplete paraplegic and was told by doctors he would likely never walk again. His father, Gerry, was also paralyzed just four years prior in a hunting accident and had no chance of recovery.
Kevin was fortunate. With a little bit of luck and extreme amount of determination, he willed himself to move one toe, then another, and another until - eventually - he not only walked again but was able to become one of Canada’s best Paralympic athletes earning a Bronze medal at the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.
Today, Kevin shares his personal story inspiring others that even when you have every reason to give up, you must keep going. By adopting The Hero Mindset, and by applying the principles inside The Resilience Toolbox, you too can become the hero of your own movie.

Mate I’m learning to walk again after 4 years and everything is getting better and better but after seeing this you’ve gave me more inspiration
Wow...it's been only 3 months since I walked. I practiced on my crutches yesterday and it felt like I was gonna have a hard time. Trusting my foot is gonna be one of the biggest hurdles I think. I can't imagine 4 years and how hard that would seem.
Amazing, Branden! :)
Keep going... keep trying, everyday!
Hey man this is probably one of the most motivational thing I’ve ever seen. I’m only a teenager (16) and my leg is spasms King so much I may need to go into a wheelchair. But this video really helped me believe. Thank you love.
Good on you bro. I had an injury in my spine 4 years ago. Barely any range of motion for a while. 2 years of therapies and then hard exercise. Yoga, and swimming really helped.
Recently had a knee injury. Required surgery. That leg has been learning to walk recently. That first walk with crutches was agony, my left feet just scraping the floor. Everyday walking a bit easier, able to plant that leg more firmly into the ground. Today I stood on 2 feet, no crutches or rail or wall. Couldn't walk, but felt so good to just stand. Balancing.
Events like these happen in our lives for a reason. They suck. But the compassion and understanding they imbue is enriching. . Growth causes pain. And pain causes growth.
For anyone who feels trapped in the physical place they are right now. It can get better. It took me 3 years of being nearly in constant pain. And at the time I considered that time lost. My early twenties, lost to repairing my spinal health. Not many other young people understand. But had that never happened to me. I would have continued on the same mediocre path I was walking.
You learn, during these times, that one of the most godly sacred words, is "Persevere"
Amen, Elyas. Keep that attitude up, forever. Don't let it go. I still have to work my ass off to this day to keep walking and minimize the daily pain and discomfort I live in. #Persevere
This brought tears to my eyes
I’m in a wheelchair also learning to walk again. Today i was so ready to give up !! But your video motivated me so much thank you !!!
Fantastic to hear, Roxy. You might like my book... Still Standing.. it's available on Amazon. Keep going!
I know how you feel, had a car accident and only after 8 months now I m learning to stand first then walk i guess. I encourage you to give it all, you are strong and we have a 2nd chance at walking. Lots of love from France
@@KevinRempel_ sir is there somewhere I can message you privately
I am in the same boat. I am also in a wheelchair and learning how to walk
Omg this is incredibly motivating. I've not walked for almost a year and my lower back is so messed up 😣. After watching you persevere and get better, I must do the same. Much love!
Keep going! I have to keep moving these days so I don't get stiff.... it's worth it!
It took 10 years ?! That's some determination and drive. I'm proud of you.
Hey Kevin, I'm sitting here on my steps exhausted and scared at the same time from all the muscle imbalances from my accident,when I came across this video. I was TBoned in my driver's door by a 87 full size tank (truck) vs my 19 outback. My injuries are not as extensive as yours here.. But the loss of function and struggle is real.. I just wanted to say Love You Man!! Very encouraging to see with PT and determination I will make it. 💪💪💪 Ty for the video. I hope your doing well.
Right on, Jonathan! My early days were super rough with spasms... and still to this day I have muscle imbalance. Keep fighting and working hard.. It's a tough road, but it's worth giving everything you have!
It’s been about year and a half since I’ve been in a wheelchair and the pain and the spasm are bad but this inspired me but I feel like I’m not going to overcome and I just cry because I have no help at home and can barely make it to the bathroom because my house is not set up for me.
Even without ideal conditions, you are still in control of your mind. Focus on what you can control. Work with what you have. Keep taking things one step at a time, every day. #Believe
When I watched this video, I was completely shocked. I lay motionless on the bed and was unable to do anything. I'm happy you survived, I'm amazed at your will, this is just special, your story is special, you are special. I wish people who gave up could see this short video. Thanks, Kevin.
I've been in the hospital for 3 months now and I started walking with a walker 3 weeks ago. I just can't wait to walk without it. Thank you for this video.
Great dude motivated me as well
20012 I was in the same boat and learning how to walk was an emotional experience. I'm still nowhere neer 100% it's a uphill battle but totally worth it. Good job man!!
Thank you, Kev!
I have been in a wheel chair since 2018. This video is very motivational! Thank you very much!
This is so motivational
Man after seeing this video I'm your fan now, damn incredible recovery from that and that accident was hard to watch, god bless you bro💪🦁
Thank you bro. I appreciate you following along!
I found this by chance but I'm really glad I did because it's amazing to see progress and success like this and it reminded me of when I had to "relearn" how to walk and use my brain again for coordination after a near death traumatic brain injury in 2016. I'm glad to see you've come so far.
Cheers, TW! Keep going!
This really motivated me I have injured both my knees while squatting and now I am on bed since 1 month and will be starting my physio from next week
Very excited to walk again
Yoooow, amazing! 🔥
You are such an inspiration, my husband just had a SCI a year ago. Fortunately, he is L1 incomplete and has made so much progress. I showed him your video and it was hopeful. If by chance you see this we were curious to know what level was your injury? Also looks to be incomplete.
Amazing....treasure what u now have and keep fighting
Absolutely, thanks Mark!
You are a champion 🏆...💪very good brother ...your video give me a lot of motivation
Loved this, fantastic.... the journey is such an inspiration and so motivating. When the desire to succeed is so strong, one will achieve! I'm going to show my kids this :)
Thank you for this. Much needed.
Glad it was helpful!
YOU ARE AMAZING!! WHAT A WILL!!!
Ryan Brown ❤️👊🏼

Thank you for this video. My son had a brain issue with his chemo. We're over a year past it and he's still having a hard time with walking. I'm going to show him this video tomorrow so he knows that he's not alone.
Amen! :)
@@KevinRempel_ I appreciate the reply. I'd actually forgotten about this and hadn't shown him. He smiled throughout it, and he got to learn about spinal cords in the process. Thanks for sharing your story.
Congratulations, you are a hero ;)
:)
This is amazing!
Thank you!
You’re a legend mate.
Thank you, brotha
Thanks for the video, it gave me incredible strength, it happened in december 2017, I fell from about 11 meters, then spent 2 months in coma, then cca a month waking up and here I am, sttrugling to speak and walk, besides my right arm has got crushed elbow joint and I am waiting for an operation, I dont know if I have less or more difficult, but my diagnosis is not bright its juicy.

How many time you recoved
Great Job Bro!!!! Get money!!!
Hahahah ayyyeee!
Hello what part of bone you broke in the hips? Is it open fracture? I have neck femur fracture?
Incomplete fracture/dislocation T112/L1 + I had an open book pelvis fracture
Its been almost 5 months now since I broke my heel and I still can't walk comfortably...even though my doc said I'd be able to walk last month. It hurts so bad. My ankle is swelled and I don't know why(I didn't break my ankle). He said that its nerve damage, but since I work construction and didn't have insurance, I couldn't pay because I can't work to make money to pay. So I of course can't go back to the doc now. I'm worried something else might be wrong and they didn't catch it. I don't know if the swelling in my ankle is from nerve damage or what. I don't know if the swelling is what's causing the pain. The pain level is cutting it real close to not being able to walk period. I stay off of it on weekends to see if it will help what's wrong. It feels a lot better for a little bit but the pain always comes back. I started back work this week and just work through the pain because I have to. Have you ever heard of swelling lasting 4 going on 5 months?
Hey Richie, I'm sorry this is such a late reply... like, way too late. I wouldn't have had a solid answer regardless, other than going back to see a doctor. I'd need a specialist myself to diagnose that.
@@KevinRempel_ I'm not new but don't lie to people u don't have complete or incomplete you crush you spinal cord is a big difference when you cut you spinal cord
I'm trying to learn to walk again but it seems like the more I try it doesn't work. My legs are so weak and I'm not sure what to do. Any tips you can give me for starting out
Keep trying everyday... you don't know if you don't try!
Hello . Can o know where you got the physical therapy. My husband got paralyzed and no one what to help him to walk again
I did my recovery at Lyndhurst, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
@@KevinRempel_ what was your lever of injury?
If you see this comment could you explain to me what intense pt is like because I had a tumor in my spine and lost my ability to walk but I feel like I’m not going to be able to walk again :(
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you explain further please?
Good
Great! :p
I’m going to start my physical therapy for walking again, next month. Similar situation (almost) just probably same height. You’re video made me cry; actively crying as I write this and I thought if we have same injuries and you can do it, then I can too. If you have any tips or advice I would appreciate it so much.
Amen! Keep browsing the videos here... I have over 100 on my channel now!
