The Jordan Hand Challenge (Neuro Note 4)
I recently participated in The Jordan Hand Challenge, which was created by Jordan Bone. Jordan is beauty blogger on YouTube and has over 200,000 followers. She also is paralyzed from the chest down (tetraplegic) from a car accident when she was 15 years old. She shares the uniques struggles that she faces not only physically but emotionally and mentally on her website, vlog, and on her many social medias. She also has made it a priority to speak to schools and colleges to raise awareness for road safety and spinal cord injuries. In one of her YouTube videos she challenged her viewers to do their make-up, the way she had to. This means no use of your fingers, a small amount of use in your thumbs, and only flexion and extension of your wrists. Knowing the limits Jordan has with her hands, you wouldn't think that her makeup would flawless... but you are SO wrong. When you see Jordan your jaw will likely drop to the floor because her makeup is AMAZING, like it was done by a professional! I accepted the challenge and did my best to apply just some basic makeup to myself like Jordan has to! I opened all of my products before I started and then put a rubber band around my fingers to keep myself from cheating. My makeup does not turn out nearly as flawless as Jordan's... but it really made me view life in a different perspective. Jordan is truly an inspiration to everyone and we all can learn from her! I would definitely suggest that everyone take on this challenge just to get a first had experience on how it would be to have to live your same life... just differently! Below my full video of the Jordan Hand Challenge, as well as links to Jordan's website and instagram! I hope you enjoy!

This is excellent, Molly! Your video shows several aspects of the challenges that a person with a relatively high-level of spinal cord injury might face in their daily routine. I applaud you for taking on the challenge!!
