MINNEAPOLIS (Feb. 18, 2020) \u2013 RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. announced today it will help sponsor the first-ever Reeve Summit 2020: Where Care, Cure and Community Connect from February 26-28, 2020, at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, D.C. <\/p>
The conference, hosted by the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, will bring together hundreds of community members, caregivers, health professionals, key thought leaders and individuals who have had an extraordinary impact on the lives of people with paralysis and related disabilities to foster collaboration, independence, health promotion and innovation. <\/p>
Among the speakers at the conference will be Vin Crudo, an RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. financial advisor who was paralyzed in 2013 after a mountain biking accident. <\/p>
Crudo, a 30-year veteran of the financial services industry, returned to work with the help of adaptive technologies and the support of his manager and colleagues. Today, he\u2019s on a mission to help others with spinal cord injuries \u2013 mentally, emotionally and financially \u2013 as they work to recover from their injuries and establish new routines and purpose in their lives. <\/p>
\u201cThese injuries can be so debilitating, and so expensive,\u201d Crudo says. \u201cDepending on the severity of the injury, a survivor could still live a productive life. But while you\u2019re alive, it\u2019s very expensive. I want to raise awareness for people who are hurt and going through that.\u201d <\/p>
Crudo\u2019s business partner, Adam Morton, an advisor with RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. will also be in attendance at the event and able to answer attendees\u2019 financial questions. <\/p>
\u201cIndividuals living with disabilities face additional costs of living. Crudo\u2019s area of expertise and first-hand experience with a spinal cord injury gives him a unique view on the financial challenges associated with navigating life with paralysis,\u201d said Aimee Hunnewell, chief development officer, Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. \u201cWe are honored to have him share his story with our guests.\u201d <\/p>
