Introducing Our 2025 Nominees
Chase Johnson
Chase suffered a spinal cord injury at level C6 due to a racecar crash in Chico on August 24, 2024. His injuries were extensive, breaking his C1, C5, C6, C7, T10, and T11, requiring a fusion from C4-T2. Chase had a professional career in racecar driving, competing across the United States for ten years before his accident. With the drastic change to his daily life, he is dedicated to maintaining his strength and independence. For many others in his position, the challenges and expenses that come with a spinal cord injury can become a significant financial burden. Please consider donating to Chase and supporting his mission to finance consistent physical training, medical treatments, and wheelchair-related equipment.
