She wanted to participate in this project to show the positive side of disabilities, especially women with disabilities. She has accomplished a lot with her life in spite of her disability. Cyndi’s most recent accomplishment is becoming a mother. She often wonders if she hadn’t dove into that pool causing her spinal cord injury, where would she be now? It has made her who she is today and she wants to make the best of it and do something every day. Every day is a gift.
