Mark Walton Takes His First Steps!

Mark Walton is one of our newer members, who suffered a spinal cord injury. Classified as a complete paraplegic, Mark fell from a ladder injuring his spine in February 2nd of 2007 and started coming to the gym on August 28th 2007.
Mark started with no feeling or sensation from about mid-torso and below. Through his dedicated and consistent efforts, he is now able to move his legs. However subtle the movement is, he is displaying remarkable progress. His ability to regain more core strength and stability has allowed him to stand and balance. After 14 months he is now able to stand with considerably more stability, and with his braces, has now started to take his first steps. He loves being able to "get around the house" and go outdoors. His drive and determination will soon have him walking without the braces. Not enough can be said about Mark's will. He will be able to accomplish anything!

Keep checking back for updates on Mark's progress.
Each week Mark shows a little more improvement.
He'll be out of the braces before too long!
