In September of 2018, founder Edwin Munoz sustained a spinal cord injury in a diving accident at Lake Belton. That, nearly fatal dive, initially left him paralyzed from the neck down. As an uninsured patient, getting access to therapy and equipment was hard and unimaginably expensive. Edwin was able to raise funds thanks to an incredible support system made up of family and friends. The money raised was just enough to cover 1 year worth of therapy. Instead of stretching the money to last the year, he purchased the equipment needed for the recovery. What started as a personal fundraiser birthed the idea of helping many others on the same journey to walk again. The Edstrong Foundation is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to help and accompany those with paralysis throughout their journey.

Thanks to our amazing donors, within six months, a facility was built from the ground up!  We are committed to offer rehab exercise programs, provide resources and community to those with spinal cord injuries and other neurological disabilities. We as a family and foundation firmly believe that life can still be lived to the fullest regardless of disability. Join us in changing lives!
