"The Will2Walk scholarship helped me get right back into activity-based therapy at REACT in Dallas, TX after a long break due to COVID-19. I'm one-year-post accident, and during this trip we found out that things below my injury level are starting to fire up. What a gift! We travel several hours out of state for therapy that pushes me farther than I ever thought I could go, and my family is so thankful for the financial support that is helping me to progress in my recovery."

"When I first had my SCI injury in 2018, never did I think that I would be able to get back into my active lifestyle, nevertheless go back to school and pursue my dreams of becoming a clinical psychologist. Will2Walk has provided much more than funding for me to go back to school, they have provided me with the support and determination to continue to live my best life despite what comes my way. I am proud to have completed my first semester at William James College for my doctorate in psychology."
