“Every step you make brings you closer to your dreams.”
We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Belgian keynote speaker Marc Herremans in our Lausanne office. His visit touched us and Marc deeply, as it ignited his own dream “To Walk Again.” For more than 20 years since his own spinal cord injury, Marc has trained every day at the highest level hoping that one day there will be new breakthrough therapies available. His determination inspires our team and reminds us of the urgency behind our work.
Marc told us about the positive shift in attitudes toward spinal cord injuries (SCI) that he has witnessed over the past decade, with more hope that one day we will be able to find a cure to treat paralysis. He personally has been a driving force behind this change via organizations like To Walk Again, the Wings for Life - Spinal Cord Research Foundation World Run, and Athletes for Hope Belgium. Marc’s father taught him early on that we have all been given two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. An important reminder of the work to be done for the underserved SCI Community.
Thank you, Marc, for keeping us ONWARD Empowered!
