kendell bachik

Kendell, born and raised in Dallas, was fueled by a life defined by progress. Working in the financial sector as an auditor for KPMG, her life was derailed in a moments time. It was October 31, 2009. A seemingly inconsequential decision to ride with friends that Halloween ended up being a choice that changed the course of her life forever. She was in a car accident. The speed and intensity of fishtailing left to right, over and over, snapped Kendell’s neck – instantly paralyzing her.
