The nonprofit Talk It Up Foundation has made a short film about Jordan Griffin, a former Orcas resident who became paralyzed after a snowboarding accident. He is pictured at right.

The video can be viewed at http://goo.gl/u144FA.

The film synopsis says: “On Dec. 17, 1991, Rachel was five months pregnant with her twin boys and was notified that their father was killed while serving our country. Sixteen years later, on the exact same date, her son Jordan was in a tragic snowboarding accident leaving him paralyzed from the neck down.

Watching his twin brother finish out his football career and go off to college, Jordan was left with a loss for his purpose and passion for life. Watch Rachel’s heartfelt reaction when we help Jordan rediscover his passion for living.”
