OUR BRANCHES
On the one-year anniversary of his accident, what Xander had this to say:

Every time I go to the doctor, they ask me if I'm depressed. I kinda laugh and say no and think to myself, why would I be? Then I think, why am I not? I lost everything I care about. Skating, snowboarding, my jobs, my girlfriend. I lost my life, so why am I not sad?
Before the accident, I got to work in my dream store, I got paid to hang out with models in hot tubs and take their pictures. I learned how to tre flip, I got to skate the Berrics, I skated the marathon! I got to ride Mammoth when they were hit with 18 feet of powder. I got to drive a convertible r8. I turned 12! When I was 7 I thought 12-year-olds were old as hell. I bought a car. I bought a Mac. I bought Nikes! I never smoked. I fell in love. I learned how to develop and print film. I climbed the freaking Great Wall of China. I touched the Hollywood sign!
Even before the accident, people asked me how come I was never sad, never depressed. I got to do things I never imagined. I loved life, I was living the dream. I don't care what I didn't do, or what I can't do now, because at 20 years old, I was so happy with my life, so satisfied, like soooo stoked. They thought I wasn't going to make it for two days after the accident but I did. Then they told me what I wouldn't be able to do but they didn't say anything about me bungee jumping, or chest pressing 300 pounds, or doing pull-ups on a streetlight, or meeting some of the sickest people ever. It’s been a year, a horrible year, but I'm still alive, still happier than everyone I know. If you're depressed or sad or bored, or even if you're not, go and do something that will change your life, something you have always dreamed of, something you never imagined happening. Who knows if you'll have the chance to do it again.
If you have the opportunity to play this game called life, you have to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don't appreciate their moment until it's passed. ~ Kanye.
Appreciate it all, life's dope.
ABOUT US
On November 13, 2011, Xander Mozejewski, one block from our home, collided on his beautiful Ducati motorcycle into an SUV that was making an illegal left turn. He was very badly hurt. Ribs broken, lungs punctured & collapsed, in a coma. But the most damaging was his broken back. Unconscious, he was rushed to Cedar's Sinai Hospital where two days later they fused his spine from T3 through T11 and was declared a T6 complete paraplegic. He spent 40 days in the ICU while he clung to life as his lungs healed. He spent another 20 days on the South Tower 8th floor, for their most serious injuries. He was then transferred to Rancho Los Amigos Rehab facility in Downey, California where he began the slow process of adapting to his body's new status. He finally came home on February 7, 2012. Paralyzed mid-rib down, he was 20 years old and the world as he knew it, was forever transformed.

Before his accident, he was an avid skateboarder, collector of Nike SB's, snowboarder, photographer and all around wild child.
Unfortunately, since the clinical trial, he has gone from being so positive to a shadow of his. former self.
