Former Rep. Michael Grimm Paralyzed After Polo Accident

Michael Grimm, former New York congressman, faces a long recovery after a horseback riding accident left him paralyzed from the chest down.

Michael Grimm, a former Marine and FBI agent, was thrown from a horse during a polo tournament in September, resulting in paralysis.
He is undergoing treatment at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in New Jersey, with costs expected to reach millions of dollars.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support Grimm's medical expenses, aiming to raise $2.5 million.
Grimm resigned from Congress in 2015 after pleading guilty to tax fraud and served seven months in prison.
Despite his legal troubles, Grimm attempted a political comeback in 2018 but was unsuccessful.
