In 2005, Zack Weinstein broke his neck, shattering the C4 through C6 vertebrae in a terrible accident. Luckily for Zack, three of the people who witnessed the accident were lifeguards. They stabilized him and he was rushed to the hospital.

The tale doesn't end with him getting full recovery of his body. Zack has function through C6, meaning that he is paralyzed from the upper chest down. His shoulders, biceps, and forearms, up to his wrists work, but he does not have use of his hands or triceps.

After the accident, he took a year off from school. When he returned to Skidmore College, a small Liberal Arts school in Upstate New York, he continued with his Theater major. Zack graduated from Skidmore in May 2009 and set out for Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.

He has gone on to make a name for himself with the love and support of his family and friends. Weinstein has appeared in numerous theater, films, and television shows, including NCIS and Glee.

Kenny ...Your Joy Shines in your Smile!

Kenny Baker, smart, beaming with youthful joy and happiness at times-- loving family, great student, loving son and brother. Sounds like the perfect picture, right? Yet Kenny suffered from unrelenting anxiety and severe depression.

Despite the best treatments and all the love in the world from his family, felt he could not go on and at the age of 19, completed suicide. His parents and his sister, devastated of course, picked up the pieces and instead of withering away from this issue or trying to sweep it under the rug as so many people do, have begun a community outreach project A.I.R. (Attitudes in Reverse) to educate and raise awareness for mental illness so that no other family will have to live through this nightmare. 

Kenny  is loved so much!
