Steps to Recovery

This past weekend I went to a Project Walk’s event, Steps to Recovery. At this event, former and current clients demonstrate their walking capabilities. It was very inspirational to see all the clients, who were given less than a 3% chance of ever walking again, actually walking! People were walking with no assistance outside on the parking lot and it was inspirational seeing how there are success stories when people are actually committed to having a full recovery. Additionally, clients who were walking for the first time with the assistance of trainers were showcased inside the Project Walk facility. I hope, no I know, that at the next Project Walk Step to Recovery event, I will be running around.

As for my latest improvements, I have been able to ride a spin bike with no assistance! It feels great! In my opinion, I think this came back so naturally because I used to ride my bike on a daily basis with my brother, Anthony. With every improvement, I am reassured that my goal will come soon! I will post a video of this soon :)

School is... Well it's school can't really say much. Haha! I am still adjusting to the new school but I have not let that come in the way of getting high scores and good grades.

Currently, I am juggling school, therapy, college apps, SAT testing and family and friends. Sometimes it feels so rushed I can't breathe. I am sick of this. I have to admit, some days I fake a smile to get through the day. But thankfully I have a great support system to keep me up. Without you guys I have no idea what I would do. Thank you!

On a brighter note, my cousin, George, is coming this weekend from France and I can't wait!

I hope all of you have a fun yet safe Halloween!

Love and God bless,
Jen

September Video

Hey everyone!
I would like to thank all my supporters and angels for your prayers and donations; without you I would not be improving as much as I am! This is a video of my latest improvements. I can now crawl backwards, sideways, and lock/unlock my knees on the total gym! The muscles are returning but I need to strengthen them. Every time a new improvement comes it gives me hope that I will be walking soon.

In order to keep working at Project Walk, I need your help. Please donate by visiting www.HelpJenWalkAgain.com and become an Angel.

God bless and love always,
Jen
