WHAT WE STAND FOR
More than just an annual event, #PUSHNATIONFEST is a way of life. From the time you or a loved one is diagnosed with an injury or disorder resulting in paralysis, you are faced with barriers – some physical and some that are placed upon you by society. Push Nation is a MOVEMENT to push the limits of what living with paralysis can look like.
Join us in sunny Tampa, FL on April 22nd and 23rd as we celebrate the people, products and technology that are improving the future landscape of the paralysis community.
