THE 34 PROJECT: WHERE GOD HAS PLOWED THE WAY C YNDI (BURR OWS) L AMB '74
Once Tim Haws '01 and his son Hudson '20 heard about an innovative program called activity-based therapy (ABT) they were like a couple of kids at Christmas. They couldn’t wait to tear into the package and see what was inside. The only problem was, no one offered it in Oklahoma, where they lived. So one day father and son headed their van south for the three-hour drive to Dallas, the closest ABT facility. Despite the distance and traffic, they were eager to make the trip. Within 30 minutes of entering the building and beginning Hudson’s workout, Tim turned to his son and said, “We need one of these back home.” Later as they left REACT Neuro-Rehab and began to navigate the interstate, Tim found his initial excitement turning into anger. Not at the traffic, but at the fact that they had to come so far for his kind of help. Hudson, who had sustained a spinal cord injury playing football at Bethany High School, had initially been a patient at OU Health Science Center. He then went to Craig Hospital in Denver for rehabilitation. For the next four months, Hudson worked tirelessly to recover and rehab. He returned home in January to finish his senior year of high school and four years later he graduated from SNU.
