A gunshot changed her life, but it hasn't stopped Amanda Parezo from taking a stand.
"I found my calling in occupational therapy," said Amanda Parezo. "And it was really challenging to put myself into my patients' shoes."
In May 2021, Parezo, an innocent bystander, was struck in the back by a shooter at Hancock Park. She and her friends had just finished a weekly kickball match.Parezo sustained a T11 complete spinal cord injury, leading to a loss of sensation and mobility from the waist down. Her spleen was ruptured, her diaphragm was damaged, and her rib was fractured."I started to pursue a robotic exoskeleton through different fundraising avenues," she said.
"My physical therapist, she's been training with me, and it's mind blowing to me," she said. "I can't believe that I'm going to be able to do a 5K." Parezo hopes her resiliency causes everyone to keep the cause of anti-gun violence at the front of their minds.
