What can an ordinary weekend look like when you’re living with a spinal cord injury?

Because awareness isn’t just knowing what SCI is—it’s listening to the people living it. 💙

Wellness with SCI isn’t one-size-fits-all. 💙

Whether you use a wheelchair full-time, walk with SCI, or switch between the two, staying healthy starts with understanding what your body needs and making small, sustainable adjustments along the way.

And if getting more movement into your routine is one of your goals, join Staying Driven Wheelchair Fitness with Coach Steph Roach for FREE virtual workouts every Wednesday and Friday! 💪♿

Rehab often focuses on the body. But how are you doing mentally? 💙

Our interactive Mental Health Series with Dr. H’Sien Hayward is returning for six weeks starting September 23.

With only 10 participants, this is an intentionally small space to talk openly, learn practical tools for resilience and well-being, and connect with others who understand life with SCI.

Missed the first round? Here’s your second chance.

💙 Every number tells a story—but it’s the people behind those numbers who inspire us most.

From grants and adaptive equipment to peer support and community programs, every milestone in our 2025 Annual Report represents someone gaining greater independence, confidence, and connection.

This carousel is just a snapshot of what we accomplished together.

🦽 Tired of waiting weeks for a simple wheelchair repair?

A loose brake, worn tire, or small adjustment shouldn’t keep you from getting where you need to go.

Starting August 15, NorCal SCI is partnering with Archer Bicycle to offer FREE monthly wheelchair repair clinics in downtown Oakland.

Our volunteer mechanic can help with:
✔️ Brake adjustments
✔️ Tire & tube replacements
✔️ Castors & bearings
✔️ Installing replacement parts
✔️ Other minor mechanical repairs

*Please bring your own replacement parts.

A few things to know before you book:
• Primarily for manual wheelchairs
• Minor non-electrical power wheelchair repairs may be possible—contact Greg first
• You’ll need to transfer independently or with your own caregiver during the repair

Appointments are first come, first served, so be sure to reserve your spot early!
