Giving Back to Becky - BLOG #5

Becky Clifford is a 38 year old woman and a lifelong resident of Oak Lawn.  Becky has worked at the Hilton Oak Lawn Hotel for the last 18 years as the Catering Manager.  She has been a dedicated employee and has worked with many local people in the area.  Becky has always given her ALL to her family, friends and co-workers.
On June 14, 2008 Becky suffered a horrific fall sustaining serious injuries to her neck and spinal cord.  She injured her spinal cord so severely that she will now require a great deal of medical attention.  This will include rehabilitation, specialized equipment, motorized and manual wheelchairs, voice recognition equipment, 24 hour nursing care and much more.  This unfortunate accident has left Becky with no feeling in her extremities.  Becky is now at RIC and is undergoing several hours of physical, occupational and speech therapy.
