Standing Tall is Shelly Kerchner's story of overcoming adversity through maintaining an attitude of patience, gratitude, and grit. This is a story of love, faith, determination, and healing. Shelly has suffered from alcohol abuse, spousal abuse, and paralysis from the neck down. Gratitude for what she had left gave her strength and courage to overcome the pessimistic views of her medical advisers and, with the help of braces, finally stand tall on her own. Today she is still working hard and improving her condition. Her hope is that her story will give hope to others with spinal cord injuries, teaching them to celebrate each small achievement.
