“The Barracuda Foundation started supporting athletes in 2017 and chose Kurka because he shares its mission to use sports to inspire others to overcome obstacles, says foundation director Griffin Davis.
Kurka wrote to the Barracuda Foundation that he views his accident “as more of a blessing than a curse,” Davis said. Kurka wrote he had been given a chance to change lives and motivate others... “The more we got to know him the more we found that he really does kind of live this.””
