About Push to Walk
Push to Walk (PTW) was founded in 2007 by Cynthia and Darren Templeton – a mother and son who share a passion for helping individuals with paralysis live a fulfilling life. In the process, they built a community of clients, families, friends, trainers, researchers, and other professionals who share friendship and resources.
