Your Support Builds New Strength.

Funds raised will support the Pediatric PowerStep, a breakthrough device that helps children with spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions (ages 18 months–12 years) learn to stand, walk, and build trunk control through activity-based locomotor training.

By investing in the Pediatric PowerStep, you provide children in Central and South Texas with access to life-changing therapy while contributing valuable data to an international research repository, helping to transform lives far beyond our community.
