Former Lions offensive lineman Mike Utley has regained full use of his shoulders, arms and hands since his spinal cord injury in 1991. “You got to earn it,†he says, “and I have.†Over the years, the Mike Utley Foundation, founded in 1992, has provided financial support for research and rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries. Through hard work, Utley has been able to regain full use of his shoulders, arms and hands and is committed to finding a cure for paralysis. "Mike is amazing," said Murray. "He doesn't hesitate to help anyone he can. That was the way Mike was before his injury, and he's probably done more since than any able-bodied person. Mike is living proof that you can have a life after a catastrophic injury -- that it's not the end of the world." Source: Detroit Free Press
