Veteran Paralyzed in Spinal Injury One Year Ago to Cycle 400+ Miles in RAGBRAI for Stem Cell Access and Veterans’ Support

Just one year after a spinal cord injury left him without the use of his lower body, veteran Tanner Courtney is taking on an extraordinary challenge: cycling over 400 miles in the iconic RAGBRAI event. His mission—More Than a Ride—is both personal and powerful.

Tanner is raising funds for advanced stem cell therapy, a promising treatment showing real results around the world, yet still inaccessible in the U.S. due to outdated FDA regulations and pharmaceutical lobbying. “I spent my life serving others,” Tanner says. “Now I’m asking for help—for myself and the millions of Americans facing similar barriers.”

The fundraiser also supports his vision to build long-term resources for veteran and law enforcement communities. Tanner has pledged to match every dollar raised toward future nonprofit efforts personally.
