Chapter Two

It’s 2022, and I am 26 years old. This is Chapter Two.

Hello, Chapter Two!

I’m so excited to partner with The North Country Chevy Dealers for #StefFindsNewRoads Chapter Two! The Dealers have been an incredible support system for me these past three years. After seeing what we were able to accomplish together already, I believe our potential is endless. How I feel about being Behind the Wheel again has changed. It’s changed in the same way my outlook, on almost everything, has changed. 

When I first started driving with hand controls, I craved the feeling of being alone in my car, music playing, and having a moment of familiar independence back. I was nervous, like other skills I had to relearn, that once I was driving again, I would begin to take it for granted as I have in the past. Three years later, when I’m driving my Equinox… that’s really the only time I’m able to completely forget about my injuries and feel the same as everyone else.

Now that these moments are frequent, it reminds me of how far I’ve come since The North Country Dealers and I partnered together in 2019.

Driving my Equinox, hand-controls and all, to new places just feels natural.

Cheers to Finding New Roads together, in Chapter Two.
