Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI
no external rotation against gravity, can only go to 90 degree fwd flexion, no hand-to-mouth
1 surgery at age 14 (latissimus dorsi transfer). In 2004, at age 28 I was struck with Transverse Myelitis which paralyzed me from the chest down. I recovered movement to my right leg, but need a KAFO to walk on my left leg. I became an RN in 2008.

All we know so far is that is it going to be held over Columbus Day Weekend.
It's for BOTH OBPI and TBPI btw. I can't wait either! Had a great time last Camp :)

Where can we sign up and does anyone know if there's any place we may be able to get some financial assistance for the trip? We're in San Antonio, Texas.

Closer to the dates Outreach Magazine will have all the info on how and when to sign up. There are scholarships you can apply for as well.
If you don't get Outreach send them an email at outreach@ubpn.org

I got a scholarship for the last Camp and had a great time!
you can see photos on my photobucket account if you want. It was held in Auburn WA.
