Our mission is to keep people with spinal cord injury (SCI) active, fit and independent. We aim to inspire people with SCI to achieve the highest quality of life possible, keeping a “will2walk” through life with the challenges SCI presents to individuals, families and communities. Pillars of our work: Education and outreach: Programs and services that enhance the lives of individuals and families impacted by SCI. Public awareness: Community outreach to help advance the cause for people and families impacted by SCI. Research: Where and when possible, contribute to the work being done to find a cure for SCI. Founded in 2008, the Will2Walk Foundation was the vision of President Rich Hamill, who sustained a spinal cord injury in an auto accident in 1992. Will2Walk is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is led by a volunteer Board of Directors and funded 100% from personal donations and event proceeds.
