The group is facilitated by United Spinal member Rob Henry. Rob is a board member at large for Untied Spinal Association of Michigan and he coordinates their peer mentor program. Rob was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome in January 2019 and at the time was paralyzed from the neck down. Through his work with his therapists and mentors, Rob was able to regain the ability to walk, but still has nerve damage in both feet along with neuropathy, so he is only able to stand and walk for a short time. Rob uses a power chair as his main method of mobility.
This is a Zoom Meeting Group.
