Funding a Dream, Changing a Perception

By supporting our clients, you are providing them the opportunity to pursue their dreams of recovery and walking again.  Each client success helps change the perception of spinal cord injury recovery. By changing the perception of recovery, we can change the treatment of thousands of spinal cord injuries each year.

By helping just one person regain the function necessary to walk, you are helping to shape the future of this injury.  How?  Well, we post each success story on our website, which is one of the most visited sites concerning SCI recovery.  Because of this, people are asking their doctors about Project Walk.  The frequent inquiries have lead to researchers from around the world visiting our center and observing our program.  Recently, we have partnered with UCI to collaborate on a study regarding how someone with a spinal cord injury recovers.

We have built this successful program one client at a time.  We have people coming to Project Walk from as far away as New Zealand, and Japan.  They are coming from around the world because it is the only place they can get quality training and a professional staff dedicated to recovery.  

Today we have successful recovery programs and a successful certification providers that we are launching worldwide in 2008 in attempt to make our program accessible for more people to pursue their dream.

All this has come about because nine years ago our first client learned to walk again when he was given little or no chance of walking again.  Our success will change the perception of recovery which will eventually change treatment to a recovery-based model. Insurance companies will eventually understand that recovery saves them millions of dollars over a lifetime because the level of care and medications is no longer necessary.  We will accomplish this one client at a time.

Rarely in life do you have the opportunity to help shape someone’s future and at the same time, help thousands of people who will suffer this devastating, life-altering injury in the future.  By donating and sponsoring one of these amazing people, you will do just that!
