We would often talk of our dreams of making it to the Major Leagues. However, our paths have split and he is chasing a new dream. Every time I put on my uniform, I remember the path that we used to share.
Project 34 was inspired by Cory’s journey and the experience of approximately 285,000 people across the United States who have spinal cord injuries.
There are so many ways you can start making a difference right now alongside me. Buy a shirt. Share our story on social media to bring awareness to our cause. And of course, donate. All donations directly impact the lives of people living with spinal cord injuries. Thank you for your support.
I wear #34 on my back, proudly and humbly, to honor Cory.
Humbly,
Trevor Williams #34
In 2011, as a freshman at Arizona State University, my roommate, teammate and close friend, Cory Hahn, suffered a career-ending and life-changing spinal cord injury while sliding headfirst into second base.
Cory wore #34. Witnessing someone’s life change as drastically as Cory’s in just an instant put my life and career into perspective. I remind myself regularly of his loss and I know that he would give anything to have even my worst day on the baseball field.
I look to him for support when times get rough on the field and I am reminded that I cannot ever take this opportunity for granted.
