HOPE with Ian Mackay

hyperactive imagination

Our conversation with Ian Mackay is the second installment in our Thunder Stories mini series.

On June 4, 2008, Ian was biking home from college at UC Santa Cruz when he hit some sand in the bike path, lost control of his bike, and went head-first into a tree.

Suddenly, Ian found himself having to adapt to life with a spinal cord injury.

Quadriplegia took Ian to some very dark places. It also taught Ian how to find rays of light and share them with others.

This episode is for anyone who needs an infusion of HOPE.
