Franceso Clark was on top of the world the day he mistakenly dove into the shallow end of a pool. He was 24 and had just gotten a promotion at Harper’s Bazaar. In an instant he was paralyzed from the neck down and very close to death. Francesco shares his incredible story of what happened next, how the inspiring support of his family and friends kept him going, why the day Christopher Reeve died was a turning point, and the purpose he first found in developing skincare products for people with medical challenges. Clark’s Botanicals is now a multi-million dollar company and Francesco continues to defy the odds set that day in the pool. //
