Walking Proud


Hybrid Assistive Limb   (Steve Jurvetson)
Whereas some walk miles to their pilgrimage destination, Anna Sarol walked steps across her graduation stage.

These steps were her pilgrimage: a long hard journey to get back on her feet.  Sarol, now 18, took a gymnastics fall some years ago and “became paralyzed from the waist down.”  

True grit, plus support from “braces, a walker and her siblings,” enabled Sarol to meet this graduation goal.  She now looks forward to walking on her own, with the future addition of a “prosthetic exoskeleton.”
