For the first time since 2000, when a crash paralyzed Sam Schmidt from the neck down, he danced with his daughter — with the aid of an exoskeleton. ⁠ ⁠ "I always dreamed this day would come," said Savannah Boehrer. "So, for this one dance, it was incredible just to be his daughter, and for him just to be my dad."⁠ ⁠ The journey goes back to 2013, with Schmidt's dream to drive again. He started a project with Arrow Electronics which, with its team of engineers, modified a Corvette to allow Schmidt to drive using only the motion of his head.⁠ ⁠ Seven months later in 2014, Schmidt drove on Carb Day in Indy and went 107 miles an hour. ⁠ ⁠ Then in 2019, Boehrer had been dating her now-husband Adam Boehrer for about two years. So Schmidt went back to Arrow.⁠ ⁠ Arrow got on it with the same passion, force and ingenuity it had with the Corvette, Schmidt said. Four engineers were assigned solely to design an exoskeleton that would allow Schmidt to walk.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read the full story. Photo by Braedon Flynn Photography.
