Aaron Moser
After a serious accident not only ended Aaron Moser’s junior hockey 
career but made him a quadriplegic, he created a research foundation 
dedicated to finding a cure for spinal cord injuries.
*
Some Canadian patriots get themselves a maple leaf tattoo. Aaron Moser got two maple 
leafs built into his custom-made wheelchair - the one he used to help carry the Olympic 
torch.
It was an incredibly proud moment when Moser, who calls himself a “super patriot,” 
helped carry the torch around the arena at the opening of the 2010 Winter Olympic 
Games in Vancouver. It was also a tribute to him and his courage.
Aaron was only seventeen years old when tragedy struck during a 1998 local junior 
league hockey game in British Columbia. He was checked into the boards, hit head first, 
and broke his neck. Aaron’s spinal cord was cut, leaving him a quadriplegic; he has no 
feeling or movement below his chest.
For Aaron, who was such an athletic and active guy, it was a brutal blow. For his family, 
it meant adapting their lives and their home to support him, and help him adjust to his 
new life. It also meant extra expenses.
Aaron Moser’s family, friends, and the entire community pulled together. They set up a 
trust fund to cover the renovations, equipment, supplies, and other expenses. Soon, the 
trust fund was swamped with donations - not just from people in the area who knew 
Aaron, but also from people throughout the world of hockey.


They weren’t just motivated by the tragedy; they were inspired by the way the teenager 
handled the shocking change to his life. Aaron refused to complain about his fate or to 
give up hope. He kept insisting that he would work hard enough and long enough to walk 
again.
The trust fund and Moser’s courage kept attracting donations. After a while, there was 
enough money not only to help Aaron Moser, but also to set up a foundation in his name 
- a non-profit group dedicated to helping find a cure for him and others with spinal cord 
injuries.
Every year, Moser and dedicated volunteers run a golf tournament and other activities to 
raise money for spinal cord injury research. As of this writing, they have brought in more 
than $400,000. And every year, they help researchers get a little closer to a cure.
As Moser always says, “I have no doubt that one day I will walk again!”
