When Ken Kunken took the field for a Cornell football game, he had no idea his life was about to change in an instant.

That moment left him a quadriplegic.

What happened next is hard to comprehend—because the life he went on to build wasn’t supposed to be possible.

This isn’t just a story of resilience. It’s a story of defying every expectation, again and again, in ways that feel almost impossible to believe.

We’ve never heard anything like it. And we will be thinking about him for a very long time.
