When HoverTech International (Molift / Etac) learned that Chris Crosby needed a new patient lift system, they didn’t hesitate to step forward. Their generous donation of a Molift Air ceiling track system will provide invaluable support to Chris and his family, ensuring greater accessibility and comfort in his daily life. 

Chris’ journey is one of incredible determination. Since sustaining a C3-4 complete spinal cord injury on January 2, 2009, he has faced immense challenges. Yet, he refuses to let anything hold him back. Though vent-dependent, his passion for the great outdoors remains unshaken. He continues to inspire others by finding creative ways to embrace nature, proving that no obstacle is too great when fueled by perseverance and ingenuity. 

This act of kindness from HoverTech International will have an everlasting impact, and the Crosby family will be forever grateful. Chris’ unwavering spirit serves as a beacon of hope - reminding us that all our passions and dreams are always within reach, no matter the circumstances.
