Choices Matter
David and his wife Kristi share their story to thousands of high school students around the world every year. Topics they cover are related to the consequences of making bad choices (such as distracted driving) and good choices (seeing past a wheelchair, overcoming obstacles and not seeing oneself as a victim).
The presentation is 45-60 minutes and includes videos and photos from their story, along with live music of songs David wrote during his therapy sessions. We have received hundreds of emails from students about the positive impact it made on their life’s.

DF Ride for Hope
The David Francisco Ride for Hope was a charity bike ride we produced in 2018 to tell the story of spinal cord injury survivor and Overcomer, David Francisco. On April 27, 2016, while the 24-year-old singer/songwriter was riding his bike home, a distracted driver ran a red light and crashed into him at over 30 miles per hour. The impact left him with a severe spinal cord injury. After 2 years of intense physical rehabilitation, David defied the odds and got back on a bike to ride over 200 miles on a tandem bike with his wife Kristi at the helm, to celebrate all that he has overcome.
