I underwent a spinal fusion at ORMC in Orlando, Florida. After that, I spent the next five months in rehabilitation at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia. After that, I spent time at Project Walk located in California. Afterwards, my mom started Project Walk Orlando. The facility provides intensive exercise programs to help rehabilitate individuals with spinal cord injuries.
Since then, I can pedal a spin bike on my own, stand unassisted for up to 30 minutes and just recently began taking steps with the aid of a lift walker!
I am trying to raise, with the help of my family and friends, $30k for Bioness devices. We have two fundraisers scheduled in November to help me reach my goal.
I have chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.
Thank you for your support!
Amanda

Thanks to everyone’s support with my therapy costs I was able to take steps down the red carpet this year without an assistive device. First time since my accident!!
Sun Day Fun Day was a Huge Success! We raised close to $12,000! And with the added support of online donations we are just $11,000 away of reaching our goal.

Love to all who are making her hopes and dreams become a reality!
This new year brings a new life goal! I have decided I would like to be more independent and start driving this year. Through fundraising efforts I hope to raise enough money to purchase a handicap accessible van with hand controls. I still work out 3 days a week and nothing is ever going to stop my vision of walking one day. To all my loving supporters….here is a video to show my progress. Thank you all so much!
Amanda’s progress with her new Bioness devices!

In 2009, Amanda and her mother started a non-profit organization called Project Walk Orlando to help Amanda and others with a spinal cord injury reach their greatest recovery potential through aggressive exercise-based therapy.
