Walking Strong - A Story of Faith

For some of us, it’s a struggle to get out the door in time for work on Monday, for others, it’s getting enough exercise. For Faith, it’s been a life long struggle to walk.

This last year she has worked with Heather Spencer and Luke Luchashesky to achieve her goal - walking independently. Faith and Heather work together three times a week to build her stamina in ambulation. This time last year she could only walk 50 feet with the assistance of one or two staff members. Today she walks independently with a gait trainer. This is the first time in her life that Faith has walked on her own! 

Faith’s determination to meet her goals with the devoted support from our staff has made all the difference in her success. We are honored to have played a small role in this huge achievement.
