Nic Danger

Hello my name is Nic Danger. I am President/Founder of The Next Step Peer Mentoring & More. In 2009, I was injured by a gunshot wound that left me a T-10 paraplegic. Devolving a secondary condition known as Heterotopic Ossification, the soft tissue in my hips and thighs turned to bone. After a year of this new bone growth my femurs were no longer bending enough for me to sit properly.
