United Disabilities: A Team's Journey to Create a Movement
Terry Loerch has always been passionate about helping others, especially those living with disabilities. Through his charity, he worked tirelessly to support newly disabled individuals, guiding them through the complexities of social services and programs. He partnered with schools, developing outreach and educational initiatives to make a real difference in people's lives.
But Terry's personal journey took an unexpected turn when a spinal cord injury left him paralyzed. Suddenly, he found himself facing the very challenges he'd been helping others overcome. Through pain, surgeries, and unwavering determination, Terry learned to walk again – only to have a medical emergency leave him clinically dead for nearly three minutes.
When he woke up, Terry had to navigate a new life with additional challenges. For nine months, he struggled to find answers and support, wishing he had someone who truly understood what he was going through.
But Terry didn't let his struggles define him. Instead, he saw them as opportunities to learn and grow, to better understand the daily realities faced by the disabled community. He realized that disability isn't a question of if but when – whether it comes with age or an unexpected twist of fate.
Driven by this realization and fueled by a passion for change, Terry knew he couldn't do it alone. He brought together an incredible team of people who shared his vision for creating a movement that would provide the resources, support, and sense of belonging that he wished he had during his own journey.
